Code pages

You can find a list of current code pages on the iSeries™ globalization Web site (http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/software/globalization).

Several of the IBM^® code pages match the International Standard ISO/IEC 8859. ISO/IEC 8859 consists of the following parts, under the general title Information processing - 8-bit single-byte coded graphic character sets:

• Part 1: Latin alphabet No. 1, 8859-1
• Part 2: Latin alphabet No. 2, 8859-2

• Part 8: Latin/Hebrew alphabet, 8859-8
• Part 9: Latin alphabet No. 5, 8859-9

i5/OS™ supports Parts 1, 2, and 9 of the ISO Standard with equivalent IBM code pages. Equivalent IBM code pages have characters that map to the ISO Standard. The equivalent IBM code pages contain all of the characters that are contained in the ISO standard. Equivalent IBM code pages are not identical to the ISO Standard. Some of the characters in the equivalent IBM code pages are at different code points than the same characters in the ISO standard.

i5/OS supports Parts 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, and 9 of the ISO Standard with identical IBM code pages. Identical IBM code pages are the same as the ISO standard.
