    Which codepage exactly is ANSI? Windows-1252?

      It depends your windows settings.

      If we spoke about non-Latin characters, then for Estonian (for example) it will be Win-1257, and for Russian, it will be Win-1251.

    Then isn't that the same as "Default"?

      Default can be any supported Windows codepage. ANSI supports only few:

      1250 – Central and East European Latin
      1251 – Cyrillic
      1252 – West European Latin
      1253 – Greek
      1254 – Turkish
      1255 – Hebrew
      1256 – Arabic
      1257 – Baltic
      1258 – Vietnamese
      874 – Thai

    Got it, thanks.
    It might be a good idea to add the explanation to the manual.

    When selecting a Charset:

    ANSI = Windows-1252

    Default = whatever you selected in Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Advanced > Language for non-Unicode programs

    There's a terminology confusion here. There always has been. When selecting the Charset, ANSI means Windows-1252. But "ANSI" can also mean "non-Unicode", so essentially all charsets are ANSI.

    So, yeah, a little bit confusing. We might rename those in the future so that they are more clear.

    Yeah, renaming them would be a good idea.
