Windows code pages are sets of characters or code pages (known as character encodings in other operating systems) used in Microsoft Windows from the 1980s and 1990s. Windows code pages were gradually superseded when Unicode was implemented in Windows, [citation needed] although they are still supported both within Windows and other platforms, and still apply when Alt code shortcuts are used.
A Dell Latitude E4310 laptop with a pointing stick (upper middle) and a touchpad (bottom). They were commonly featured together on Dell Latitude laptops, beginning in the late 1990s. The pointing stick can be used in ultra-compact netbooks [13] where there would be no place for a touchpad.
In the IBM PC Bios typing an Alt code greater than 255 produced the same as that number modulo 256. [3] Some applications retained this behavior, while others (in particular applications using the Windows RichEdit control, such as WordPad and PSPad ) made numbers from 256 to 65,535 produce the corresponding Unicode character.

Historically, the phrase "ANSI Code Page" was used in Windows to refer to non-DOS encodings; the intention was that most of these would be ANSI standards such as ISO-8859-1. Even though Windows-1252 was the first and by far most popular code page named so in Microsoft Windows parlance, the code page has never been an ANSI standard.
Windows code page 936 (abbreviated MS936, Windows-936 or (ambiguously) CP936), [1] is Microsoft's legacy (pre-Unicode) character encoding for representing simplified Chinese text on computers. It is one of the four Windows DBCSs for East Asian languages , accompanying code pages 932 ( Japanese ), 949 ( Korean ) and 950 ( Traditional Chinese ).
