Codepage is the correct term.

This is a good point. If there is a way to set the
current codepage (I think there is a user one and a
system one, one being for the GUI), then this will not
be a problem though some languages require Unicode and
it's probably impossible to set Unicode as the current
codepage on Windows 9x. NT/2K/XP though will be fine
as you say.
