Yes. We seem to have a conflict in terminology. On
Windows, ANSI is the system of 8-bit charsets using
codepages. Any text file on Windows is actually ANSI,
using 1 byte per character, not ASCII. The actual
characters displayed will be decided by the local
codepage. Even though most or all will be ASCII-
conforming.
If I write chr
149 into a text file it will show as a bullet, because
that text file is being read as ANSI text with the English
codepage. There's nothing like a ban on using the high bit.
All non-unicode text is 8-bit ANSI text.
If I enter chr 209 it will show as N with tilde.
And when I save that file from Notepad the
default option will be "ANSI". If I send that file to a Russian
or Turk they'll probably see different characters because
the characters for their language are using part of the
post-ASCII byte value range. But I suspect that on
your Spanish computer you'd see what I see, because
Spanish characters and other Euro characters can all
fit into a single ANSI charset.
No, Spain uses the 850 charset.
