Character Sets Differences
Between ANSI, utf-8 and MacRoman
Of the three main 16-bit character sets, only utf-8 is produced by a standards organization. The three sets are identical for the 95 characters from 32 to 126, the ASCII character set. The ANSI character set, also known as Windows-1252, has become a Microsoft proprietary character set; it is a superset of utf-8 with the addition of 27 characters in locations that ISO designates for control codes. Apple's proprietary MacRoman character set contains a similar variety of characters from 128 to 255, but with very few of them assigned the same numbers, and also assigns characters to the control-code positions.
The characters that appear in the first column of the following tables are generated from Unicode numeric character references, and so they should appear correctly in any Web browser that supports Unicode, that has suitable fonts available, that is set to view Western European encoding and that has its Unicode options set correctly, regardless of the operating system.
