Code Page is a terminology that predates MS. I certainly first learned of it from IBM documents.
Shift-JIS is code page 932 or 942 (942 cotains about a half dozen more characters than 932).
The original US IBM PC used Code Page 437. In Europe it used Code Page 850 which is a Latin 1 Code Page. MS invented
CodePage 1252 which was their Latin 1 code page. ISO 8859-1 is just another
Latin 1 Code Page looked at from that perspective.
