Originally, the code page numbers referred to the page numbers in the IBM standard character set manual, [4] [5] [6] a condition which has not held for a long time. Vendors that use a code page system allocate their own code page number to a character encoding, even if it is better known by another name; for example, UTF-8 has been assigned ...
The following phrases come from a portable media player's seven-segment display. They give a good illustration of an application where a seven-segment display may be sufficient for displaying letters, since the relevant messages are neither critical nor in any significant risk of being misunderstood, much due to the limited number and rigid domain specificity of the messages.
As of October 2022, GBK is the third-most popular encoding served from China and territories (after UTF-8 and the subset GB 2312), with 1.9% of web servers serving a page that declares GBK. [3] However, all major web browsers decode GB2312-marked documents as if they were marked GBK, except for Safari and Edge on the label GB_2312. [4]
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 Windows code pages were gradually superseded when Unicode was implemented in Windows, [citation needed] although they are still supported both within Windows and other platforms, and still apply when Alt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.
Length of the password for the first FCB (CP/M 3) 54–55: Word: Address of the password for the second FCB (CP/M 3) 56: Byte: Length of the password for the second FCB (CP/M 3) 57–5B: Bytes: Reserved 5C–6B: Default FCB 1 6C–7F: Default FCB 2 (overwritten if FCB 1 is opened) 80: Byte: Number of characters in command tail. 81–FF: Bytes
A legacy of code page 437 is the number combinations used in Windows Alt codes. [6] [7] [8] A DOS user could enter a character by holding down the Alt key and entering the character code on the numpad [6] and many users memorized the numbers needed for CP437 (or for the similar CP850).
Drive number — 0 for default, 1 for A:, 2 for B:, ... 0x01 8 File name and extension — together these form a 8.3 file name. 0x09 3 0x0C 20: Implementation dependent — should be initialised to zero before the FCB is opened. 0x20 1: Record number in the current section of the file — used when performing sequential access. 0x21 3
If no hardware code page(s) are specified, these drivers default either to a dummy code page number 999 [1] [23] [24] or assume the hardware code page to be equal to the primary code page (the first code page listed in COUNTRY.SYS files for a particular country [27] with the country code either specified in the CONFIG.SYS COUNTRY directive or ...
