{{Short description|Sets of characters used in the 1980s & 90s}}
'''Windows code pages''' are sets of characters or [[code pages]] (known as [[character encoding]]s in other operating systems) used in [[Microsoft Windows]] from the 1980s and 1990s. Windows code pages were gradually superseded when [[Unicode in Microsoft Windows|Unicode was implemented in Windows]],{{cn|date=October 2020}} although they are still supported both within Windows and other platforms, and still apply when [[Alt code]] shortcuts are used. 

Current Windows versions support [[Unicode]], new Windows applications should use Unicode (UTF-8) and not 8-bit character encodings.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/intl/unicode-and-character-sets |title=Unicode and character sets |publisher=Microsoft |date=2023-06-13 |access-date=2024-05-27}}</ref>

There are two groups of system code pages in Windows systems: OEM and Windows-native ("ANSI") code pages.
(ANSI is the [[American National Standards Institute]].) Code pages in both of these groups are [[extended ASCII]] code pages. Additional code pages are supported by standard Windows conversion routines, but not used as either type of system code page.

|quote=The term "ANSI" as used to signify Windows code pages is a historical reference, but is nowadays a misnomer that continues to persist in the Windows community. The source of this comes from the fact that the Windows code page 1252 was originally based on an ANSI draft—which became International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Standard 8859-1. “ANSI applications” are usually a reference to non-Unicode or code page–based applications.}}</ref>)          are used for native non-Unicode (say, [[byte oriented]]) applications using a [[graphical user interface]] on Windows systems. The term "ANSI" is a misnomer because these Windows code pages do not comply with any [[American National Standards Institute|ANSI (American National Standards Institute)]] standard; [[Code Page 1252|code page 1252]] was based on an early ANSI draft that became the international standard [[ISO 8859-1]],<ref name="ms glossary" /> which adds a further 32 control codes and space for 96 printable characters. Among other differences, Windows code-pages allocate printable characters to the supplementary control code space, making them at best illegible to standards-compliant operating systems.)

Most [[Legacy system|legacy]] "ANSI" code pages have code page numbers in the pattern 125x. However, [[windows-874|874]] (Thai) and the East Asian multi-byte "ANSI" code pages ([[Windows-31J|932]], [[windows-936|936]], [[Unified Hangul Code|949]], [[Code page 950|950]]), all of which are also used as OEM code pages, are numbered to match IBM encodings, none of which are identical to the Windows encodings (although most are similar). While [[windows-1258|code page 1258]] is also used as an OEM code page, it is original to Microsoft rather than an extension to an existing encoding. IBM have assigned their own, different numbers for Microsoft's variants, these are given for reference in the lists below where applicable.

All of the 125x Windows code pages, as well as 874 and 936, are labelled by [[Internet Assigned Numbers Authority]] (IANA) as "Windows-''number''", although "Windows-936" is treated as a synonym for "[[GBK (character encoding)|GBK]]". Windows code page 932 is instead labelled as "Windows-31J".<ref>{{Cite web

ANSI Windows code pages, and especially the code page [[Windows-1252|1252]], were so called since they were purportedly based on drafts submitted or intended for ANSI. However, ANSI and [[International Organization for Standardization|ISO]] have not standardized any of these code pages. Instead they are either:<ref name="ms glossary"/>
* Supersets of the standard sets such as those of [[ISO 8859]] and the various national standards (like [[Windows-1252]] vs. [[ISO-8859-1]]),
* Major modifications of these (making them incompatible to various degrees, like [[Windows-1250]] vs. [[ISO-8859-2]])
* Having no parallel encoding (like [[Windows-1257]] vs. [[ISO-8859-4]]; [[ISO-8859-13]] was introduced much later). Also, [[Windows-1251]] follows neither the ISO-standardised [[ISO-8859-5]] nor the then-prevailing [[KOI-8]].

Microsoft assigned about twelve of the [[typography]] and business characters (including notably, the [[euro sign]], €) in CP1252 to the [[code point]]s 0x80–0x9F that, in ISO&nbsp;8859, are assigned to [[C1 control codes]]. These assignments are also present in many other ANSI/Windows code pages at the same code-points. Windows did not use the C1 control codes, so this decision had no direct effect on Windows users. However, if included in a file transferred to a standards-compliant platform like Unix or MacOS, the information was invisible and potentially disruptive.{{cn|date=February 2021}}

== OEM code page{{anchor|OEM}} ==
The '''OEM code pages''' ([[original equipment manufacturer]]) are used by [[Win32 console]] applications, and by [[virtual DOS machine|virtual DOS]], and can be considered a holdover from [[DOS]] and the original [[IBM PC]] architecture. A separate suite of code pages was implemented not only due to compatibility, but also because the [[VGA-compatible text mode#Fonts|fonts of VGA (and descendant) hardware]] suggest encoding of [[box-drawing character|line-drawing characters]] to be compatible with [[code page 437]]. Most OEM code pages share many code points, particularly for non-letter characters, with the second (non-ASCII) half of CP437.

A typical OEM code page, in its second half, does not resemble any ANSI/Windows code page even roughly. Nevertheless, two single-byte, fixed-width code pages (874 for [[Thai language|Thai]] and 1258 for [[Vietnamese language|Vietnamese]]) and four multibyte [[CJK characters|CJK]] code pages ([[Code page 932 (Microsoft Windows)|932]], [[Code page 1386|936]], [[Windows-949|949]], [[Windows-950|950]]) are used as both OEM and ANSI code pages. Code page 1258 uses [[combining diacritic]]s, as Vietnamese requires more than 128 letter-diacritic combinations. This is in contrast to [[VISCII]], which replaces some of the [[C0 control codes|C0]] (i.e. ASCII) control codes.

== History ==
Early computer systems had limited storage and restricted the number of [[bit]]s available to encode a [[character (computing)|character]]. Although earlier proprietary encodings had fewer, the [[ASCII|American Standard Code for Information Interchange]] (ASCII) settled on seven bits: this was sufficient to encode a 96 member subset of the characters used in the US. As eight-bit [[byte]]s came to predominate, Microsoft (and others) expanded the repertoire to 224, to handle a variety of other uses such a box-drawing symbols. The need to provide [[precomposed character]]s for the Western European and South American markets required a different character set: Microsoft established the principle of code pages, one for each alphabet. For the [[List of writing systems#Segmental script|segmental scripts]] used in most of Africa, the Americas, southern and south-east Asia, the Middle East and Europe, a character needs just one byte but two or more bytes are needed for the [[ideographic]] sets used in the rest of the world. The code-page model was unable to handle this challenge.

Since the late 1990s, software and systems have adopted [[Unicode]] as their preferred character encoding format: Unicode is designed to handle millions of characters. All current Microsoft products and [[application program interfaces]] use Unicode internally,{{cn|date=October 2020}} but some applications continue to use the default encoding{{clarify|date=October 2024}} of the computer's 'locale' when reading and writing text data to files or standard output.{{cn|date=October 2020}} Therefore, files may still be encountered that are legible and intelligible in one part of the world but unintelligible [[mojibake]] in another.

=== UTF-8, UTF-16 ===
Microsoft adopted a Unicode encoding (first the now-obsolete [[UCS-2]], which was then Unicode's only encoding), i.e. [[UTF-16]] for all its [[operating system]]s from Windows NT onwards, but additionally supports [[UTF-8]] (aka <code>CP_UTF8</code>) since [[Windows 10 version history#Version 1803 (April 2018 Update)|Windows 10 version 1803]].<ref>{{cite web

UTF-16 uniquely encodes all Unicode characters in the [[Basic Multilingual Plane]] (BMP) using 16 bits but the remaining Unicode (e.g. [[emoji]]s) is encoded with a 32-bit (four byte) code{{snd}} while the rest of the industry ([[Unix-like]] systems and the web), and now Microsoft chose [[UTF-8]] (which uses one byte for the 7-bit [[ASCII]] character set, two or three bytes for other characters in the BMP, and four bytes for the remainder).

The Windows-125x series includes nine of the ANSI code pages, and mostly covers scripts from [[Europe]] and [[West Asia]] with the addition of [[Vietnam]]. System encodings for [[Thai script|Thai]] and for [[East Asia]]n languages were numbered to match similar IBM code pages and are used as both ANSI and OEM code pages; these are covered in following sections.
<!--

All of the Windows-125x encodings previously bore the source code comment "Windows 7 Ultimate". However, as the Windows-125x encodings were all designed for Windows and originally used by Windows, it goes without saying that all nine have Windows support.

These often differ from the IBM code pages of the same number: code pages 932, 949 and 950 only partly match the IBM code pages of the same number, while the number 936 was used by IBM for another Simplified Chinese encoding which is now deprecated and Windows-951, as part of a [[kludge]], is unrelated to IBM-951.

== Problems arising from the use of code pages ==
Microsoft strongly recommends using Unicode in modern applications, but many applications or data files still depend on the legacy code pages. 
* Programs need to know what code page to use in order to display the contents of (pre-Unicode) files correctly. If a program uses the wrong code page it may show text as [[mojibake]].
* The code page in use may differ between machines, so (pre-Unicode) files created on one machine may be unreadable on another.
* Data is often improperly tagged with the code page, or not tagged at all, making determination of the correct code page to read the data difficult.
* These Microsoft code pages differ to various degrees from some of the standards and other vendors' implementations.  This isn't a Microsoft issue ''per se'', as it happens to all vendors, but the lack of consistency makes interoperability with other systems unreliable in some cases.
* The use of code pages limits the set of characters that may be used.
* Characters expressed in an unsupported code page may be converted to question marks (?) or other [[replacement character]]s, or to a simpler version (such as removing accents from a letter). In either case, the original character may be lost.
