I'm not sure if it is a default or not. When I installed IE8, I was first given the option of having all the configuration of IE8 done using the MS 'defaults' or selecting my own choices. I elected to make my own choices. As I recall, the last choice was to enable compatibility mode to improve IE8's support for 'older' web sites.
I said yes, enable it. Until now, I had not seen any ill effects from that decision. I know very little about the details of compatibility mode or what the pros or cons would be related to enabling or disabling it. To me, it seems unlikely to be a code-page option. From the descriptions I have seen, it seems more like a very active emulation of older web browser behavior performed in a rather complex way.
