Code page 915 (designated as CCSID 915 and also referred to as CP 915 or IBM 00915) represents a code page utilized within IBM AIX and DOS environments to encode the Bulgarian, Belarusian, Russian, Serbian, and Macedonian alphabets. Despite its intended use, it did not achieve widespread acceptance. While it theoretically could accommodate the Ukrainian script during the Soviet era (1933–1990), it omits the Ukrainian character ґ, which is critical for accurate Ukrainian spelling. Due to this limitation, IBM introduced Code page 1124 specifically for Ukrainian text representation. Code page 915 is an extension of ISO/IEC 8859-5, aligning exactly with that standard from code points 0xA0 to 0xFF.
