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.
ISO/IEC 8859-2:1999, Information technology — 8-bit single-byte coded graphic character sets — Part 2: Latin alphabet No. 2, is part of the ISO/IEC 8859 series of ASCII-based standard character encodings, first edition published in 1987. It is informally referred to as "Latin-2". It is generally intended for Central or "Eastern European" languages that are written in the Latin script. Note that ISO/IEC 8859-2 is very different from code page 852 which is also referred to as "Latin-2" in Czech and Slovak regions. Code page 912 is an extension.
In computing and typesetting, a soft hyphen or syllable hyphen, abbreviated SHY, is a code point reserved in some coded character sets for the purpose of breaking words across lines by inserting visible hyphens. Two alternative ways of using the soft hyphen character for this purpose have emerged, depending on whether the encoded text will be broken into lines by its recipient, or has already been preformatted by its originator.
IBM code page 37 is an EBCDIC code page with the full Latin-1 character set used in IBM mainframes. It is used in some English- and Portuguese-speaking countries, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, New Zealand, Portugal, South Africa, and the United States.
Binary Ordered Compression for Unicode (BOCU) is a MIME compatible Unicode compression scheme. BOCU-1 combines the wide applicability of UTF-8 with the compactness of Standard Compression Scheme for Unicode (SCSU). This Unicode encoding is designed to be useful for compressing short strings, and maintains code point order. BOCU-1 is specified in a Unicode Technical Note.
Windows code pages are sets of characters or code pages used in Microsoft Windows from the 1980s and 1990s. Windows code pages were gradually superseded when Unicode was implemented in Windows, although they are still supported both within Windows and other platforms.
Code page 1047 is an EBCDIC code page with the full Latin-1 character set. It is closely related to both EBCDIC 037-2 and EBCDIC 037, both of which also encode Latin-1.
IBM code page 500 is an EBCDIC code page with full Latin-1-charset support used in IBM mainframes.
IBM code page 273 is an EBCDIC code page with the full Latin-1 character set used in IBM mainframes in Austria and Germany.
IBM code page 870 is an EBCDIC code page with full Latin-2-charset used in IBM mainframes in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia.
IBM code page 8 is an EBCDIC code page used on IBM mainframes in Germany to support the German language.
IBM code page 256 is an EBCDIC code page used in IBM mainframes. It supports all of Latin-1-charset except for the middle dot (·), copyright sign (©) superscript one (¹), multiplication sign (×), division sign (÷). EBCDIC 500 replaces the Peseta Sign (₧) with the middle dot, the florin sign (ƒ) with the copyright sign, the dotless i (ı) with the superscript one, the double low line (‗) with the multiplication sign, and the en space with the division sign to include all of ISO 8859-1. It supports the following:
IBM code page 258 is an EBCDIC code page used in IBM mainframes. These code values can be used for the following languages:
IBM code page 330 is an EBCDIC code page used in IBM mainframes. It supports the following languages:
IBM code page 264 is an EBCDIC code page with full ASCII used in IBM mainframes. It is also called EBCDIC Print Train & Text Processing Extended. This code page is supported by IBM.
IBM code page 283 is an EBCDIC code page with full EBCDIC 256 charset used in IBM mainframes. It was used in Spain.
IBM code page 286 is an EBCDIC code page used on IBM mainframes in Germany and Austria to support the German language.
IBM code page 361 is an EBCDIC code page used in IBM mainframes. It is similar to EBCDIC 500, but does not support all of ISO 8859-1. It also does not support all of ASCII because the circumflex (^) and grave (`) are missing. It contains a number of ligatures and quotation marks but (‚) (U+201A) is missing, because it is unified with the comma in this codepage. This code page is supported by IBM.
IBM code page 1165 is an EBCDIC code page used in IBM mainframes in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia.
IBM code page 382 is an EBCDIC code page used used in IBM mainframes. It is called Publishing: Austria, Germany, Switzerland. This code page is supported by IBM. It is a modification of EBCDIC 361.
