Character Sets for Microsoft Windows

Go Up to Character Sets for DOS

There are five character sets that support Windows client applications, such as Paradox for Windows. These character sets are: WIN1250, WIN1251, WIN1252, WIN1253, and WIN1254.

The names of collation orders for these character sets that are specific to Paradox for Windows begin “PXW”. For example, the WIN1250 character set supports a Paradox for Windows collation order for Norwegian and Danish called ­“PXW_NORDAN4”.

For more information about Windows character sets and Paradox for Windows collation orders, see the appropriate Paradox for Windows documentation and driver books.
