    The following code pages have the full Latin-1 character set (ISO/IEC 8859-1). The first column gives the original code page number. The second column gives the number of the code page updated with the euro sign (€) replacing the universal currency sign (¤) (or in the case of EBCDIC 924, with the set changed to match ISO 8859-15)

  3. Character encoding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_encoding

    A character set is a collection of elements used to represent text. [9] [10] For example, the Latin alphabet and Greek alphabet are both character sets. A coded character set is a character set mapped to a set of unique numbers. [10] For historical reasons, this is also often referred to as a code page. [9]

    The following table shows the code assignments for the type 716 printer used starting with the IBM 704 computer and through the 7094. [13]: 58 The 704 interface [d] sent virtual punched-card rows to this printer, two words (72 bits) at a time, so the mapping from 6-bit BCD characters was done by software, and was not built into the printer.

  6. Eight Ones - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight_Ones

    Eight Ones, as an EBCDIC control code, is used for synchronisation purposes, such as a time and media filler. [1] In Advanced Function Presentation code page definition resource headers, setting at least the first two bytes of the field for the eight-byte code page resource name (which is encoded in code page 500) to Eight Ones (0xFF) constitutes a "null name", which is treated as unset.

    The following table shows the 3275/3277/3284–3286 character set [55] [56] for US English EBCDIC (optional characters were available for US ASCII, and UK, French, German, and Italian EBCDIC). On the 3275 and 3277 terminals without the a text feature, lower case characters display as uppercase.

  8. ISO/IEC 8859-1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_8859-1

    It is the basis for some popular 8-bit character sets and the first two blocks of characters in Unicode. As of December 2024 [update] , 1.1% of all web sites use ISO/IEC 8859-1 . [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is the most declared single-byte character encoding, but as Web browsers and the HTML5 standard [ 3 ] interpret them as the superset Windows-1252 ...

  9. UTF-EBCDIC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-EBCDIC

    UTF-EBCDIC is a character encoding capable of encoding all 1,112,064 valid character code points in Unicode using 1 to 5 bytes (in contrast to a maximum of 4 for UTF-8). [1] It is meant to be EBCDIC -friendly, so that legacy EBCDIC applications on mainframes may process the characters without much difficulty.
