Windows code page 932 is registered with 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> The "Windows-31J" label is IANA's and not recognized by Microsoft, which has historically used "shift_jis" instead. The [[W3C]]/[[WHATWG]] encoding standard used by [[HTML5]] treats the label "'''shift_jis'''" interchangeably with "windows-31j" with the intent of being "compatible with deployed content"<ref>{{cite web | url=https://encoding.spec.whatwg.org/#names-and-labels | title=4.2. Names and labels | publisher=WHATWG | work=Encoding Standard}}</ref> and matches Windows code page 932 (including the "formerly proprietary extensions from IBM and NEC").<ref>{{cite web | url=https://encoding.spec.whatwg.org/#index-jis0208 | title=5.

Windows code page 932 is also called '''MS-KanjiMS_Kanji''',<ref name="icuwindows31j" /><ref>{{cite web | url=https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/codecs.html#standard-encodings | title=7.2.3.

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.
