But extended ascii might be the correct term. I read it on multiple resources — Rohan Bhale. StaxMan StaxMan k 30 30 gold badges silver badges bronze badges. Your clarification works for me and "ambiguous" would have been a better word choice than "incorrect". ISO ISO is a family of single-byte encoding schemes used to represent alphabets that can be represented within the range of to Katefr 3 3 3 silver badges 2 2 bronze badges. Sammitch Sammitch Re: code points for UTF-8, according to stackoverflow.

Is that an error, or might a fix be needed here? The 17 planes can accommodate 1,, code points. Of these, 2, are surrogates, 66 are non-characters, and , are reserved for private use, leaving , for public assignment. See How many characters can UTF-8 encode? ASCII: 7 bits. ISO 8 bits.

I had seen where Umlaut's are not supposedly converted with UTF8. We saw examples of this and in searching we found the ISO and it seems to work. We have a lot of German Scientist we work with.

Umlaut's are represented as two characters in utf8. They convert fine and work well. The problem comes from programs that expect 1 byte per character. For these legacy programs, ISO has 1-byte umlaut's. Just as an example of where single byte encoding is preferred, SMS messages have a limit of bytes and primarily use single-byte encoding.

If you were a business that sends automated SMS messages, you don't want to double your cost just to not use a legacy standard.

Windows assigns an integer, called code page ID, to every supported codepage. Windows codepages are also sometimes referred to as active codepages or system active codepages.

Windows always has one currently active Windows codepage. That draft eventually became ISO , but Windows codepage was implemented before the standard became final, and is not exactly the same as ISO Windows can support conversions between Unicode and these codepages. The following table shows all the supported codepages by Windows. The Codepage ID lists the integer number assigned to a codepage.

The Codepage Description column describes the codepage.
