The extended ASCII codes (character code 128-255)

Windows-1256 is a character encoding standard used to represent text in the Arabic script. It was introduced by Microsoft in the Windows operating system and is not based on ISO 8859-6 nor the MacArabic encoding. Windows-1256 supports a range of characters and symbols used in the Arabic script, including the Arabic alphabet, diacritics, and various punctuation marks. Windows-1256 is widely used in Arab countries for text processing, including in word processing software, spreadsheets, and databases. It is also used for the representation of Arabic text in other countries. However, it is important to note that Windows-1256 may not provide full support for all of the characters used in the Arabic script and may cause issues when dealing with text in certain scripts.
