Since the original IBM PC code page ([[code page 437|number 437]]) was not really designed for international use, several incompatible variants emerged. Examples include:

* [[Code page 737|737]] — Greek characters

* [[Code page 850|850]] — Multilingual, most European languages

* [[CP855Code page 855|855]] — [[Cyrillic alphabet|Cyrillic]]

* [[Code page 858|858]] — Multilingual with [[euro]] symbol

* [[Code page 860|860]] — [[Portugal]]

* [[Code page 863|863]] — French [[Canada|Canadian]]

* [[Code page 865|865]] — [[Nordic countries|Nordic]]

* [[CP866Code page 866|866]] — [[Cyrillic alphabet|Cyrillic]]

* [[Code page 868|868]] — [[Urdu]]

* [[Code page 899|899]] — Symbol

* [[Code page 904|904]] — [[Taiwan]]

* [[Code page 1088|1088]] — Revised [[Korean language|Korean]]

* [[Code page 1114|1114]] — [[Taiwan]]

Other code pages of note are:

* [[Code page 10000|10000]] — [[Mac-Roman encoding|Macintosh Roman encoding]] (followed by several other Mac character sets)

* [[Code page 12000|12000]] — [[Unicode]] [[little-endian]], 12001 [[big-endian]]

* [[Code page 20000|20000]] — [[CNS Taiwan]], followed by other national character sets

In modern applications, operating systems and programming languages, the IBM code pages have been rendered obsolete by international standards, such as [[ISO 8859-1]] and [[Unicode]].
