Default ASCII extended set is different in Excel, than MS's Website?

When I use the =Char(189) formula in Excel, it returns 1/2. I go on
Microsoft's website:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...331361033.aspx
and the code for 1/2 is 171. Can anyone tell me why this is? Can I use a
assign a different extended character set to be used in Excel?
