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.
Code page 850 is a code page used under DOS and Psion’s EPOC16 operating systems in Western Europe. 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, whilst other English-speaking locales default to use the hardware code page 437.
The Kamenický encoding, named for the brothers Jiří and Marian Kamenický, was a code page for personal computers running DOS, very popular in Czechoslovakia around 1985–1995. Another name for this encoding is KEYBCS2, the name of the Terminate and Stay Resident utility which implemented the matching keyboard driver. It was also named KAMENICKY.
Several binary representations of 8-bit character sets for common Western European languages are compared in this article. These encodings were designed for representation of Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Dutch, English, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, and Icelandic, which use the Latin alphabet, a few additional letters and ones with precomposed diacritics, some punctuation, and various symbols. Although they're called "Western European" many of these languages are spoken all over the world. Also, these character sets happen to support many other languages such as Malay, Swahili, and Classical Latin.
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 Windows code pages were gradually superseded when Unicode was implemented in Windows, although they are still supported both within Windows and other platforms.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.
The programming language APL uses a number of symbols, rather than words from natural language, to identify operations, similarly to mathematical symbols. Prior to the wide adoption of Unicode, a number of special-purpose EBCDIC and non-EBCDIC code pages were used to represent the symbols required for writing APL.
In computing, a hardware code page (HWCP) refers to a code page supported natively by a hardware device such as a display adapter or printer. The glyphs to present the characters are stored in the alphanumeric character generator's resident read-only memory and are thus not user-changeable. They are available for use by the system without having to load any font definitions into the device first. Startup messages issued by a PC's System BIOS or displayed by an operating system before initializing its own code page switching logic and font management and before switching to graphics mode are displayed in a computer's default hardware code page.
Code page 252 aka EBCDIC 252 is a Polish EBCDIC code page used in IBM mainframes. GCSGID is 00093, and CPGID is 00252. The number of characters in the code page is 96.
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 352 is an EBCDIC code page used in IBM mainframes. It is called Printing and Publishing Option. This code page is supported by IBM i.
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 384 is an EBCDIC code page used used in IBM mainframes. It is called Publishing: Brazil. This code page is supported by IBM. It is a modification of EBCDIC 361.
IBM code page 385 is an EBCDIC code page used used in IBM mainframes. It is called Publishing: Canada (French). This code page is supported by IBM. It is a modification of EBCDIC 361.
IBM code page 386 is an EBCDIC code page used used in IBM mainframes. It is called Publishing: Denmark, Norway. This code page is supported by IBM. It is a modification of EBCDIC 361.
