Windows-1250 is a character encoding standard used to represent text in Central and Eastern European languages, such as Polish, Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, Slovene, and others. It was introduced by Microsoft in the Windows operating system as a successor to Code Page 852 and is based on ISO 8859-2. Windows-1250 supports a range of characters and symbols specific to these languages, including diacritics and other special characters.
Windows-1250 is widely used in Central and Eastern Europe for text processing, including in word processing software, spreadsheets, and databases. However, it is important to note that it does not provide full support for all of the characters used in these languages and may cause issues when dealing with text in certain scripts.
