Transforms / Encodes. ISO 8859-15. Succeeded by. 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 in Microsoft Windows throughout the Americas, Western Europe, Oceania, and much of Africa . Initially the same as ISO 8859-1, it began to ...
Microsoft defined a number of code pages known as the ANSI code pages (as the first one, 1252 was based on an apocryphal ANSI draft of what became ISO 8859-1). Code page 1252 is built on ISO 8859-1 but uses the range 0x80-0x9F for extra printable characters rather than the C1 control codes from ISO 6429 mentioned by ISO 8859-1.
Windows code pages are sets of characters or code pages (known as character encodings in other operating systems) used in Microsoft Windows from the 1980s and 1990s. Windows code pages were gradually superseded when Unicode was implemented in Windows, [citation needed] although they are still supported both within Windows and other platforms, and still apply when Alt code shortcuts are used.
e. Windows-1250 is a code page used under Microsoft Windows to represent texts in Central European and Eastern European languages that use the Latin script. It is primarily used by Czech, [1] though Czech has now moved to UTF-8 [2] and mostly abandoned this legacy encoding. It is also used for Polish (which also used in Windows-1257 ), Slovak ...
Apart from this, applications and environments often have methods of entering unicode entities directly via their code point, e.g., via the Alt Numpad input method. (Non-breaking space has code point 255 decimal (FF hex) in codepage 437 and codepage 850 and code point 160 decimal (A0 hex) in codepage 1252.) See also
e. 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.
Extended ASCII is a repertoire of character encodings that include (most of) the original 96 ASCII character set, plus up to 128 additional characters. There is no formal definition of "extended ASCII", and even use of the term is sometimes criticized, [1] [2] [3] because it can be mistakenly interpreted to mean that the American National ...
