Editing Windows-1252 (section)

==Name==
It is known to Windows by the [[Windows code page|code page]] number 1252, and by the [[Internet Assigned Numbers Authority|IANA]]-approved name "windows-1252".

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. Microsoft explains, "The term ANSI as used to signify Windows code pages is a historical reference, but is nowadays a misnomer that continues to persist in the Windows community."<ref>{{cite web |url=https://download.microsoft.com/download/5/6/8/56803da0-e4a0-4796-a62c-ca920b73bb17/21-Unicode_WinXP.pdf |title=Unicode and Windows XP |page=1 |last1=Wissink |first1=Cathy |publisher=[[Microsoft]] |date=5 April 2002 |access-date=4 February 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150204175931/http://download.microsoft.com/download/5/6/8/56803da0-e4a0-4796-a62c-ca920b73bb17/21-Unicode_WinXP.pdf |archive-date=4 February 2015 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
