NAME
iso_8859-1 - ISO 8859-1 character set encoded in octal, decimal, and
hexadecimal
DESCRIPTION
The ISO 8859 standard includes several 8-bit extensions to the ASCII
character set (also known as ISO 646-IRV). Especially important is ISO
8859-1, the "Latin Alphabet No. 1", which has become widely implemented
and may already be seen as the de-facto standard ASCII replacement.
ISO 8859-1 supports the following languages: Afrikaans, Basque,
Catalan, Danish, Dutch, English, Faeroese, Finnish, French, Galician,
German, Icelandic, Irish, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Scottish,
Spanish, and Swedish.
Note that the ISO 8859-1 characters are also the first 256 characters
of ISO 10646 (Unicode).
