Roman Script in DBCS 

The character set that can be represented by SBCS is based on the Roman
alphabet plus some other characters.  In some countries the DBCS
character codes also include codes for many of these characters.

On some hardware the character displayed is visibly different according
to whether the character is stored in SBCS or DBCS; for example on some
screens the DBCS code for a letter causes it to be printed larger than
does its SBCS code.
