Line 1:
Windows uses two main groups of [[code page]]s. The OEM code pages are used in console windows and can be considered a hangover from dos and the original PC architecture. theThe ANSI code pages are used for non-unicode apps in the windows GUI. Two single byte fixed width code pages (874 for Thai and 1258 for vietnamese) and 4 multibyte [[CJK]] code pages (932, 936, 949, 950) are used as both ansi and OEM code pages. Both ansi and oem code pages are [[extended ascii]] code pages.
 
1258 uses [[combining diacritic]]s as veitnamese requires more than 128 letter/diacritic combinations. This is in contrast to [[VISCII]] which replaces some of the [[C0]] control codes.
