HTML ANSI（Windows-1252）Reference Manual
ANSI（Windows-1252）
ANSI is the default character set in Windows 95 and earlier Windows systems.
ANSI is also known as Windows-1252.
Important Notes
ANSI and ISO-8859-1 are very similar, differing only in 32 characters.
In ANSI, characters from 128 to 159 are used for useful characters, such as the euro sign.
In ISO-8859-1, these characters map to control characters that do not function in HTML.
Many web developers declare ISO-8859-1 and use these 32 values as if they were Windows-1252.
Due to this common misunderstanding, browsers will switch to Windows-1252 when ISO-8859-1 is declared. This applies to the following document types: HTML4, HTML5, and XHTML.
ANSI and ASCII
The first part of ANSI (entity numbers 0-127) is the original ASCII character set. It contains digits, uppercase and lowercase English letters, and some special characters.
For more information on ASCII, see thecomplete ASCII reference manual。
