'''Microsoft Windows code page 932''' ('''Windows-932''' or [[Code page 932|ambiguously]] '''CP932'''), known by IBM as '''[[code page]] 943''' ('''CP943''')<ref name="ibm943">{{cite web | url=http://www-01.ibm.com/software/globalization/ccsid/ccsid943.html | title=Code Page 943 | publisher=IBM}}</ref> and known by the [[Internet Assigned Numbers Authority|IANA]] as '''Windows-31J''',<ref name="iana31j">{{cite web | url=https://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets/character-sets.xhtml | publisher=IANA | title=Character Sets}}</ref> also called '''MS-Kanji''',<ref>{{cite web | url=https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/codecs.html#standard-encodings | title=7.2.3. Standard Encodings | publisher=Python Software Foundation | work=Python 3.6 Documentation | accessdate=19 September 2017}}</ref> is Microsoft's extended variant of [[Shift JIS]]. It contains standard 7-bit [[ASCII]] codes, and Japanese characters are indicated by the high bit of the first byte being set to 1. Some code points in this page require a second byte, so characters use either 8 or 16 bits for encoding. It is a combination of [[Code page 897]] and [[Code page 941]].<ref name="ibm943"/>
 
The "Windows-31J" name is IANA's and not recognized by Microsoft, which has historically used "shift_jis" instead. In Japanese editions of Windows, this code page is referred to as "ANSI", since it is the operating system's default 8-bit encoding, even though [[ANSI]] was not involved in its definition.
