Windows-1251 is a character encoding standard used to represent text in the Cyrillic script. It was introduced by Microsoft in the Windows operating system and is based on ISO 8859-5. Windows-1251 supports a range of characters and symbols used in the Cyrillic script, including Russian, Bulgarian, Serbian, and others.
Windows-1251 is widely used in the former Soviet Union countries and other countries that use the Cyrillic script. It is commonly used in word processing software, spreadsheets, and databases. However, it is important to note that Windows-1251 may not provide full support for all of the characters used in these languages and may cause issues when dealing with text in certain scripts.
