Code page
Code page is the traditional IBM term used for a specific variant of character coding for computers. Although IBM maintained a myriad of code pages, the term has in general use taken on the meaning character coding for the IBM PC. Since the original IBM PC code page was not really designed for international use, several incompatible variants emerged:
- 437 -- Original
- 850 -- Multilangual
- 858 -- Multilangual with euro
- 860 -- Portugal
- 865 -- Nordic
- 868 -- Urdu
- 899 -- Symbol
- 904 -- Taiwan
- 1088 -- Revised Korean
- 1114 -- Taiwan
The IBM PC code pages have now been obsolted by international standards, specifically ISO 8859-1 and Unicode.
