The problem with CP437 is that FF, 00, and 20 are all empty space and look the same. Then there's the question about that ambiguous character that's either German Sharp S or Beta.
I break ties by using ๐ for NULL which declutters output with lots of null bytes, and ⍽ for non-breaking space because I saw the glyph on Wikipedia.
I will fight anyone who claims that a beta and an eszett look the same.
They’re talking about CP473 character 225, (hexadecimal E1), which resembles both β and ß (depending on the exact font), and was frequently used as a stand-in for both.
