Code Page Bitfields

The code page bitfields are used in the FONTSIGNATURE and LOCALESIGNATURE structures.

Note  All locales do not support code pages. The bitfields described in this topic do not apply to Unicode locales. To determine supported scripts for a locale, your application can use the locale identifier constant LOCALE_SSCRIPTS with GetLocaleInfoEx.

Note  The presence of a bit in a code page bitfield does not necessarily mean that all strings for a locale can be encoded in that code page without loss. To preserve data without loss, using Unicode UTF-8 or UTF-16 is recommended.
