The codepages listed below may be used in conjunction with the codepage conversion functions. Many of these are not available for use as system or PM codepages, and will not be listed by the WinQueryCpList function.

While these lists are intended to be as comprehensive as possible, it is not guaranteed that every possible OS/2 codepage will be shown. In addition, not all defined codepage aliases are included here.

The codepage descriptions list the name of the applicable character set, optionally followed by a comma and additional details about the specific encoding standard used, optionally followed, in brackets, by the name of the applicable country, region or application.

Codepages prefixed with 'IBM' indicate encodings based on modifications of the DOS Extended ASCII layout, and are not recommended for cross-platform interchange.

Note: Not all codepages may be available on all systems.
