Hello all, After consulting central asian computer users, I found out that the Windows codepages they use as standard are, as a matter of fact, modified versions of "real" (the ones that most of us know as) standard codepages.
Two cases known so far: The Windows turkish codepage (cp1254) isn't "turkic enough" to handle other latin-alphabet based turkic languages. Windows 9x in Azerbaijan uses a modified version, which they call "cp1254e". The Windows cyrillic codepage (cp1251) covers only slavic languages, not the cyrillic-alphabet based turkic ones. Windows 9x in Kazakhstan uses a modified version, which they call "cp1251k". Obviously, we cannot define the same CCSID (Coded Character Set IDentifier, a.k.a. CPxxxx codepage number) for two different codepages. My proposal: In order to preserve the standard codepages, I would like to name those codepages as follows: cp1254 (Standard) ==> cp1254 cp1254e (Azeri) ==> cp2254 cp1251 (Standard) ==> cp1251 cp1251k (Kazakh) ==> cp2251 After a lot of research on the web, I've found no cp225x codepages, so it seems that there would be no conflicts.
