Unicode ( UTF-8, UTF-16) v. t. e. Windows-1252 or CP-1252 ( Windows code page 1252) is a legacy single-byte character encoding [ 2] that is used by default (as the "ANSI code page") in Microsoft Windows throughout the Americas, Western Europe, Oceania, and much of Africa. [citation needed] Initially the same as ISO 8859-1, it began to diverge ...
The term "ANSI" is a misnomer because these Windows code pages do not comply with any ANSI (American National Standards Institute) standard; code page 1252 was based on an early ANSI draft that became the international standard ISO 8859-1, [3] which adds a further 32 control codes and space for 96 printable characters. Among other differences ...
Code page. In computing, a code page is a character encoding and as such it is a specific association of a set of printable characters and control characters with unique numbers. Typically each number represents the binary value in a single byte. (In some contexts these terms are used more precisely; see Character encoding ยง Terminology .)
Code page 437 (CCSID 437) is the character set of the original IBM PC (personal computer). [2] It is also known as CP437, OEM-US, OEM 437, [ 3 ] PC-8, [ 4 ] or DOS Latin US. [ 5 ] The set includes all printable ASCII characters as well as some accented letters ( diacritics ), Greek letters, icons, and line-drawing symbols.
Code page 850 (CCSID 850) (also known as CP 850, IBM 00850, [2] OEM 850, [3] DOS Latin 1 [4]) is a code page used under DOS operating systems [a] in Western Europe. [5] Depending on the country setting and system configuration, code page 850 is the primary code page and default OEM code page in many countries, including various English-speaking locales (e.g. in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and ...
Because many Internet standards use ISO 8859-1, and because Microsoft Windows (using the code page 1252 superset of ISO 8859-1) is the dominant operating system for personal computers today, [citation needed] [when?] unannounced use of ISO 8859-1 is quite commonplace, and may generally be assumed unless there are indications otherwise.
Greek, English, mathematical usage. Windows code page 1253 ("Greek - ANSI"), [1] commonly known by its IANA-registered name Windows-1253 [2] or abbreviated as cp1253, [3] [4] is a Microsoft Windows code page used to write modern Greek. It is not capable of supporting the older polytonic Greek . It is not fully compatible with ISO 8859-7 because ...
