Several further characters are added at their Windows-1252 locations, although the rest do not collide with ISO 8859-7. IBM uses code page 1253 (CCSID 1253 and euro sign extended CCSID 5349) for Windows-1253. [5] [6] [7] Unicode is preferred for Greek in modern applications, especially as UTF-8 encoding on the Internet.

A coded character set is a character set mapped to a set of unique numbers. [10] For historical reasons, this is also often referred to as a code page. [9]
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 ...
