Questions tagged [non-unicode]

Unicode is intended to be a universal character set for describing all the characters required for written text incorporating all writing systems, technical symbols and punctuation. But unicode isn't supported on every system, and many other character sets exist.

This tag concerns encoding questions dealing with non-unicode character sets. It can be about conversion from/to unicode, or dealing with special characters on systems not supporting unicode.

Some commons character sets:

  • ASCII. 7-bits. Only non-accented latin characters.
  • ISO-8859-1 (a.k.a. Latin-1). 8-bits. Occidental latin characters.
  • ISO-8859-15 (a.k.a Latin-9). Like ISO-8859-1, but with some additional characters like euro sign.
  • CP-1252. 8-bits. Occidental latin characters used by Windows.
  • CP-850. 8-bits. Occidental latin characters used by DOS.
