Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code is an eight-bit character encoding used mainly on IBM mainframe and IBM midrange computer operating systems. It descended from the code used with punched cards and the corresponding six-bit binary-coded decimal code used with most of IBM's computer peripherals of the late 1950s and early 1960s. It is supported by various non-IBM platforms, such as Fujitsu-Siemens' BS2000/OSD, OS-IV, MSP, and MSP-EX, the SDS Sigma series, Unisys VS/9, Burroughs MCP and ICL VME.
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.
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 Windows code pages were gradually superseded when Unicode was implemented in Windows, although they are still supported both within Windows and other platforms.
CCSID 930 is one of several Japanese EBCDIC code pages created by IBM for representation of Japanese text. It is commonly used on IBM z/OS and IBM System i operating system.
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 20 is an EBCDIC code page used in IBM mainframes in Denmark and Norway to support the Danish language and the Norwegian language.
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 287 is an EBCDIC code page used on IBM mainframes in Denmark and Norway to support the Danish language and the Norwegian language.
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.
