Code page 903 (CCSID 903)[2] is encoded for use as the single byte component of certain simplified Chinese character encodings.[3] It is used in China. Despite this, it follows ISO 646-JP / the Roman half of JIS X 0201, in that it replaces the ASCII backslash 0x5C (rather than the ASCII dollar sign 0x24 as in GB 1988 / ISO 646-CN) with the yen/yuan sign. It also uses the same C0 replacement graphics as code page 897.[4] When combined with the double-byte Code page 928, it forms the two code-sets of IBM code page 936.
