Code Pages (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/6/2010
A code page is a translation table that the Windows Embedded CE OS uses to enable conversions from ANSI to Unicode. By default, the Windows Embedded CE OS enables code page support based on the locales that are built into the run–time image. Each installed locale has exactly one ANSI-supported code page and one OEM–supported code page. When Windows Embedded CE changes a locale, it also changes the default ANSI and OEM code pages to match the new locale. Windows Embedded CE associates code pages with a given locale based on the code pages that are available in your system. In some circumstances, the default set of code pages may not provide all of the required support. You can add additional code pages to an OS design for additional support, but you cannot download code pages to a target device.
The following table shows the code pages supported by Windows Embedded CE.
