Windows-1252 or CP-1252 (Windows code page 1252) is a legacy single-byte character encoding{{cite web |url=https://encoding.spec.whatwg.org/ |title=Encoding. Living Standard |at=§ 9.

Initially the same as ISO 8859-1, it began to diverge starting in Windows 2.0 by adding additional characters in the 0x80 to 0x9F (hex) range (the ISO standards reserve this range for C1 control codes). Notable additional characters include curly quotation marks and all printable characters from ISO 8859-15.
It is the most-used single-byte character encoding in the world. Although almost all websites now use the multi-byte character encoding UTF-8, {{as of|2025|04|lc=y}}, 1.1% of websites declared ISO 8859-1 which is treated as Windows-1252 by all modern browsers (as required by the HTML5 standard), plus 0.3% declared Windows-1252 directly,{{Cite web|title=Historical trends in the usage statistics of character encodings for websites, December 2024|url=https://w3techs.com/technologies/history_overview/character_encoding|access-date=2024-12-16|website=w3techs.com}}{{Cite web|url=https://w3techs.com/faq|title=Frequenty Asked Questions|website=w3techs.com}} for a total of 1.4%.

Name
It is known to Windows by the code page number 1252, and by the 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 Microsoft explains, "The term ANSI as used to signify Windows code pages is a historical reference, but is nowadays a misnomer that continues to persist in the Windows community."{{cite web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}}

History
- The first version of the codepage was used in Microsoft Windows 1.0. It matched the ISO-8859-1 standard (including leaving code points 0xD7 and 0xF7 undefined, as they were not in the standard at that time).
- The second version of the codepage was introduced in Microsoft Windows 2.0. In this version, code points 0xD7, 0xF7, 0x91, and 0x92 are defined.
- The third version of the codepage was introduced in Microsoft Windows 3.1. It defined all code points used in the final version except the euro sign and the Z with caron character pair.
- The final version (shown below) was introduced in Microsoft Windows 98.
Starting in the 1990s, many Microsoft products that could produce HTML included Windows-1252-exclusive characters, but marked the encoding as ISO-8859-1, ASCII, or undeclared.{{citation needed|date=December 2023}} Characters exclusive to Windows-1252 would render incorrectly on non-Windows operating systems (often as question marks).{{cite web |last1=Texin |first1=Tex |title=Comparing Characters in Windows-1252, ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-15 |url=https://www.i18nqa.com/debug/table-iso8859-1-vs-windows-1252.html |website=I18nQA.com}}{{cite web |last1=van Emden |first1=Eva |title=How to make typographers' quotes in HTML |url=https://blog.vancouvereditor.com/2011/01/how-to-make-typographers-quotes-in-html.html |website=vancouvereditor.com |access-date=7 January 2024 |date=28 January 2011 |quote=If you use typographers' quotes without specifying the right character encoding for your HTML file, some of your viewers are going to see question marks, boxes, or other crazy symbols instead of the beautiful curly quotes you intended them to see.}} In particular, typographers' quotes—curly variants of the standard straight apostrophes and quotation marks in US-ASCII—were commonly used in files produced in Windows applications such as Microsoft Word due to the smart quotes feature, which can automatically convert straight apostrophes and quotation marks to the curly variants.{{cite web |title=Smart quotes in Word |url=https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/smart-quotes-in-word-702fc92e-b723-4e3d-b2cc-71dedaf2f343 |website=Microsoft Support |publisher=Microsoft |access-date=7 January 2024}} To fix this, by 2000 most web browsers and e-mail clients treated the charsets ISO-8859-1 and US-ASCII as Windows-1252{{citation needed|date=December 2023}}—this behavior is now required by the HTML5 specification.{{cite web |url=https://encoding.spec.whatwg.org/#names-and-labels |title=Encoding |at=sec. 5.2 Names and labels |publisher=WHATWG |date=27 January 2015 |access-date=4 February 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150204174315/https://encoding.spec.whatwg.org/#names-and-labels |archive-date=4 February 2015 |url-status=live}} Undeclared charsets in HTML are also assumed to be Windows-1252.{{cite web |title=NetWare Web Search: Understanding Character Set Encodings |url=https://www.novell.com/documentation/webserv/?page=/documentation/webserv/nsrchenu/data/a30k3eo.html |website=Novell Documentation |publisher=Novell |quote=if a document does not contain a CHARSET encoding value, the default encoding for HTML documents is ISO-8859-1, also known as Latin1.

Although Windows NT supported Unicode and attempted to encourage programs to use it, it only provided the 16-bit code units of UCS-2/UTF-16, despite the existing support for other multibyte character encodings such as Shift-JIS. As many applications preferred to use 8-bit strings, Windows-1252 remained the most popular encoding on Windows.{{cn|date=January 2025}} UTF-8 has been supported since Windows 10 so this is gradually changing.{{cn|date=January 2025}}

The following table shows Windows-1252. Differences from ISO-8859-1 have the Unicode code point number below the character, based on the Unicode.org mapping of Windows-1252 with "best fit". A tooltip, generally available only when one points to the immediate right of the character, shows the Unicode code point name and the decimal Alt code.

{{legend-inline|#DDD|}}According to the information on Microsoft's and the Unicode Consortium's websites, positions 81, 8D, 8F, 90, and 9D are unused; however, the Windows API [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd319072.aspx MultiByteToWideChar] maps these to the corresponding C1 control codes. The "best fit" mapping documents this behavior, too.

There is a rarely used, but useful, graphics extended code page 1252 where codes 0x00 to 0x1f allow for box drawing as used in applications such as MSDOS Edit and Codeview. One of the applications to use this code page was an Intel Corporation Install/Recovery disk image utility from mid/late 1995. These programs were written for its P6 User Test Program machines (US example{{cite book|chapter-url=https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/88a2/d8b2ae94d7e2581fb3e94e2cd71635a8d655.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190503085826/https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/88a2/d8b2ae94d7e2581fb3e94e2cd71635a8d655.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-date=2019-05-03|title=Performance of NASA Equation Solvers on Computational Mechanics Applications|chapter=Performance of the NASA equation solvers on computational mechanics applications|year=1996|publisher=NASA|doi=10.2514/6.1996-1505|s2cid=15711051|last1=Storaasli|first1=Olaf}}). It was used exclusively in its then EMEA region (Europe, Middle East & Africa). In time the programs were changed to use code page 850.
