Questions tagged [windows-1252]

Windows-1252 or CP-1252 is a character encoding of the Latin alphabet. It is the default character encoding used by text editors in the English version of Microsoft Windows. It defines 27 characters not present in the related ISO-8859-1 encoding. Microsoft recommends developers use a Unicode character encoding instead.

The Windows-1252 code page is used by the Windows operating system to display a number of Latin-based languages. This character set mimics the ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1) character set, except that it adds 27 characters for bytes 128-159 which are undefined in ISO 8859-1.

The languages represented by CP-1252 include English, Spanish, and various Germanic/Scandinavian languages.
