Line 1: [[fr:Page de code]] '''Code page''' is the traditional [[International Business Machines\|IBM]] term used for a specific variant of character coding for [[computer]]s. Although the basis of many character sets is [[ASCII]], ASCII was a seven bit code, with the 8-bit representation of ASCII either setting the top bit to zero or using it as a [[parity bit]]. Using this bit for data doubled the size of the possible character set, allowing another 128 characters to be added. No standard the existed for these "[[Extended ASCII\|extended character sets]]", and IBM referred to the variants as code pages.
