Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

SBCS, or single-byte character set, is used to refer to

ISO 8859 encodings, and the various Microsoft/IBM code pages.[1][2]

The term SBCS is commonly contrasted against the terms

half-width characters, so-called because such SBCS characters would traditionally occupy half the width of a DBCS character on a fixed-width computer terminal or text screen
