This may be some fascinating reading and get you wondering why they are using CCSID 850 as that seems a bit dated:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_page_850
<snip>Systems largely replaced code page 850 with Windows-1252 which contains all same letters, and later with Unicode.</snip>
Still running Windows 2000 or some such thing?

I'll be the first to admit I've got a long way to go to wrap my head around CCSID though.
