IBM code page 936 (CP936) is a character encoding for Simplified Chinese including 1880 UDC. It is a combination of the single-byte Code page 903 and the double-byte Code page 928.

Code page 928, the double byte component, includes 9356 characters as double-byte sequences starting with 0x81 through 0xAC and 0xF0 through 0xFA. It was documented in 1992 and superseded in 1993 by Code page 1380.[1]

It should not be confused with the identically numbered Windows code page.
