The wording here might suggest that Mazovia is another name for Latin2,
which is incorrect;
There are 4 standards (?) for encoding Polish characters in 8 bits in
common use today on PCs:
ISO Latin-2 (CP 8859/2),
IBM Latin-2 (MS-DOS CP 852),
Mazovia,
Windows ANSI (CP 1250)
all of them different
(CP 1250 is quite similar to ISO Latin-2, i.e. 66% of codes are
identical).
