Code Page 858
Code page 858 (CCSID 858) (also known as CP 858, IBM 00858, OEM 858) is a code page used under DOS to write Western European languages. Similarly to code page 850, code page 858 supports the entire repertoire of ISO 8859-1, but in a different arrangement. Code page 858 was created from code page 850 in 1998 by changing code point 213 (D5hex) from dotless i (ı) (a character not included in ISO-8859-1) to the euro sign (€). Unlike most code pages modified to support the euro sign, the generic currency sign at CFhex (an ISO-8859-1 character, changed to the euro sign in ISO-8859-15) was not chosen as the character to replace. Still, instead of adding support for the new code page 858, IBM's PC DOS 2000, also released in 1998, changed the definition of the existing code page 850 to what IBM called ''modified code page 850'' to include the euro sign at code point 213. More recent IBM/MS products implemented codepage 858 under its own ID. Character set The following table s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
ISO/IEC 8859-1
ISO/IEC 8859-1:1998, ''Information technology — 8-bit single-byte coded graphic character sets — Part 1: Latin alphabet No. 1'', is part of the ISO/IEC 8859 series of ASCII-based standard character encodings, first edition published in 1987. ISO/IEC 8859-1 encodes what it refers to as "Latin alphabet no. 1", consisting of 191 characters from the Latin script. This character-encoding scheme is used throughout the Americas, Western Europe, Oceania, and much of Africa. It is the basis for some popular 8-bit character sets and the first two blocks of characters in Unicode. ISO-8859-1 was (according to the standard, at least) the default encoding of documents delivered via HTTP with a MIME type beginning with "text/" (HTML5 changed this to Windows-1252). , 1.3% of all (but only 8 of the top 1000) web sites use . It is the most ''declared'' single-byte character encoding in the world on the Web, but as Web browsers interpret it as the superset Windows-1252, the documents ...
