Information About

Windows-1250




In modern applications UTF-8 or UTF-16 is a preferred encoding

Windows-1250 is similar to ISO-8859-2 and has all the printable characters it has and more. However a few of them are rearranged (unlike Windows-1252, which keeps all printable characters from ISO-8859-1 in the same place). Most of the rearrangements seem to have been done to keep characters shared with Windows-1252 in the same place as in Windows-1252 but three of the characters moved (Ą,Ľ,ź) cannot be explained this way. The differences are shown in the table below:

Note: ISO-8859-2 characters in the range 80–9F are C1 Control Code s.
