I'm having problems in layout with users who use the Internet Explorer browser in compatibility view.
When using Internet Explorer version 11.0.21 in compatibility view what version will it assume? Is the above or any specific?
What is the Internet Explorer compatibility view?

Internet Explorer has several rendering modes for different versions of the browser. We have since 5 (called IE Quirks) up to the Edge which is the rendering mode associated with IE11 and implements various new CSS3 features.
Each version has new features and also obsoletes behaviors / features that used to work. In this link , Microsoft explains the compatibility changes of IE by version.
When IE receives HTML, it renders the page rendering using the rendering mode it considers most compatible. But you can also specify in the HTML, through the Meta tag, which version of IE rendering is most appropriate for your page.
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge" />
Remember that Microsoft Edge ignores this Meta tag.
Now, going back to the question, to know exactly what version IE is using to display your site, visit the Developer tool (F12) . In the emulator tab, it will indicate the default rendering mode for your site, and when in compatibility mode, the version of the rendering mode it is using.
