Once and for all, is it correct to say "ANSI" to the Windows code pages? Currently, some pages on wikipedia say it's wrong (as ANSI never defined these code pages, but Microsoft just says "ANSI" to it anyway), while this article makes the impression that it is ok. --[[User:Abdull|Abdull]] 23:53, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
:Well microsofts technical documents use that term all over the place and i don't belive anyone uses the term ansi code page for anything else. I can't imagine ANSI are particularlly happy about having thier name put to something that isn't thiers though. I guess it all depends on how you define right and wrong ;) [[User:Plugwash|Plugwash]] 10:44, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
:::ANSI explicitly disavows any understanding of the standards they publish, and explicitly repudiates any suggestion that they have an opinion about the meaning of their standards. So if you want to say, for example, that the first 127 code points all represent the same character .... ANSI doesn't have an opinion on that. Wikipedia on the other hand....
::Microsoft is now leaning away from "ansi" and uses "active" instead to describe the current code page. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:131.107.0.73|131.107.0.73]] ([[User talk:131.107.0.73|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/131.107.0.73|contribs]]) </span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->
