> CP850 is the default DOS codepage (at least on Samba3) and is the codepage in use on most DOS installations. Usage from older Windows versions and DOS with special characters becomes rather limited for most people without CP850. I guess you could live with ASCII if you're not going to use older clients.

Any client that use RAP NetShareEnum like smbclient or jCIFS will not
read share names correctly if they contain non-ASCII characters. For
example, umlauts and such are not terribly uncommon.
