Windows[[Microsoft]] uses two main groups of [['''code page]]spages in Windows'''. The [[original equipment manufacturer|OEM]] [[code pagespage]]s are used in console windows and can be considered a hangover from dos[[DOS]] and the original [[IBM PC]] architecture. The [[ANSI]] code pages are used for non-unicode[[Unicode]] apps in the windows[[Microsoft Windows]] [[graphical user interface|GUI]]. Two single -byte, fixed -width code pages (874 for {{ll|Thai}} and 1258 for vietnamese{{ll|Vietnamese}}) and 4four multibyte [[CJK]] code pages (932, 936, 949, 950) are used as both ansiANSI and OEM code pages. Both ansiANSI and oemOEM code pages are [[extended asciiASCII]] code pages.

Code page 1258 uses [[combining diacritic]]s as veitnameseVietnamese requires more than 128 letter/-diacritic combinations. This is in contrast to [[VISCII]], which replaces some of the [[C0]] control codes.
