Windows-1252 also CP 1252 as well as Western European or ANSI . is an 8-bit character encoding that was developed for the Microsoft Windows operating system . The character set is based on ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1), but deviates from this in the range 80 16 - 9F 16 , instead of the (very rarely used) C1 control characters , these 32 positions contain 27 displayable characters, among others. a. the characters added in ISO 8859-15 and some necessary for better typography .
Some applications mix the definition of ISO 8859-1 and Windows-1252. Since the additional control characters from ISO 8859-1 have no meaning in HTML either, the HTML5 standard stipulates that texts marked as ISO 8859-1 are to be interpreted as Windows-1252. Nonetheless, Windows-1252 is also registered with the IANA. In January 2019, 3.5% of all websites use the character encoding implicitly as ISO 8859-1, with 0.6% of the websites Windows-1252 is used explicitly, with a falling trend. Latin-1 is the second most common coding of websites after UTF-8 (93.0%), Windows-1252 is the fourth most common after Windows-1251 . The differences between all of these encodings and a general lack of consistency in supporting different character sets are common interoperability problems.

The colored code points represent changes compared to ISO 8859-1: Yellow fields are occupied, green fields are not used.
Since Unicode is based on ISO 8859-1 and not on Windows-1252, the Unicode code points of the characters not highlighted in color are identical to the code values in Windows-1252, but not those with a colored background:

Differences between ISO 8859-1, ISO 8859-15, Windows-1252 and Unicode
In addition to the characters from ISO 8859-1 , Windows-1252 also contains those characters that were added in ISO 8859-15 and replace some less often used characters from ISO 8859-1. However, the position of these characters differs between Windows-1252 and ISO 8859-15 as well as the encoding in Unicode. All characters that do not appear in one of the two ISO encodings occupy the following positions.
