Windows code page 1253 ("Greek - ANSI"), [1] commonly known by its IANA-registered name Windows-1253 [2] or abbreviated as cp1253, [3] [4] is a Microsoft Windows code page used to write modern Greek. It is not capable of supporting the older polytonic Greek .
ISO/IEC 8859-7:2003, Information technology — 8-bit single-byte coded graphic character sets — Part 7: Latin/Greek alphabet, is part of the ISO/IEC 8859 series of ASCII-based standard character encodings, first edition published in 1987. [2] It is informally referred to as Latin/Greek. It was designed to cover the modern Greek language. The ...
Code page 737 (CCSID 737) [1] (also known as CP 737, IBM 00737, and OEM 737, [2] MS-DOS Greek [3]) is a code page used under DOS to write the Greek language. [4] It was much more popular than code page 869 although it lacks the letters ΐ and ΰ.
Several 8-bit character sets (encodings) were designed for binary representation of common Western European languages (Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Dutch, English, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, and Icelandic), which use the Latin alphabet, a few additional letters and ones with precomposed diacritics, some punctuation, and various symbols (including some Greek letters).
Beta Code was a method of representing, using only ASCII characters, the characters, accents, and formatting found in ancient Greek texts (and other ancient languages). Its aim was to be not merely a romanization of the Greek alphabet, but to represent faithfully a wide variety of source texts – including formatting as well as rare or idiosyncratic characters.
Code page 869 (CCSID 869) (CP 869, IBM 869, OEM 869) is a code page used under DOS to write Greek [2] and may also be used to get Greek letters for other uses such as math. [citation needed] It is also called DOS Greek 2. [3] It was designed to include all characters from ISO 8859-7. Code page 869 was not as popular as code page 737. [citation ...
In Unix and Unix-like operating systems, iconv (an abbreviation of internationalization conversion) [2] is a command-line program [3] and a standardized application programming interface (API) [4] used to convert between different character encodings. "It can convert from any of these encodings to any other, through Unicode conversion."
the most common special characters, such as é, are in the character set, so code like é, although allowed, is not needed. Note that Special:Export exports using UTF-8 even if the database is encoded in ISO 8859-1, at least that was the case for the English Wikipedia, already when it used version 1.4.
