Windows-1250 is a code page used under Microsoft Windows to represent texts in Central European and Eastern European languages that use the Latin script. It is primarily used by Czech.[1] It is also used for Polish (as can Windows-1257), Slovak, Hungarian, Slovene (as can Windows-1257), Serbo-Croatian (Latin script), Romanian (before a 1993 spelling reform) and Albanian (as can Windows-1252). It may also be used with the German language, though it's missing uppercase ẞ.[a] German-language texts encoded with Windows-1250 and Windows-1252 are identical.
This has been replaced by UTF-8 far more than Windows-1252 has. As of October 2022, less than 0.04% of all web pages use Windows-1250.[2][3][4]
Windows-1250 is similar to ISO-8859-2 and has all the printable characters it has and more. However a few of them are rearranged (unlike Windows-1252, which keeps all printable characters from ISO-8859-1 in the same place). Most of the rearrangements seem to have been done to keep characters shared with Windows-1252 in the same place but three of the characters moved (Ą, Ľ, ź) cannot be explained this way, since those do not occur in Windows-1252 and could have been put in the same positions as in ISO-8859-2 if ˇ had been put e.g. at 9F.
IBM uses code page 1250 (CCSID 1250 and euro sign extended CCSID 5346) for Windows-1250.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11]
The following table shows Windows-1250. Each character is shown with its Unicode equivalent.

Different from both Windows-1252 and ISO-8859-2
^ In 2017, the Council for German Orthography officially adopted a capital, ⟨ẞ⟩, before support for German was complete. Fully compatible with ISO/IEC 8859-1 for German texts.
