Latin 1 -- Definition Standard 8859 of the International Standards Organization (ISO) defines a set of tables of eight-bit codes for the printable characters used in various languages. The lower seven bits of each table (i.e., values 0x20 through 0x7E) are the same as those defined in ISO Standard 646; which, in turn, are the same as those in the character set called ``U.S. ASCII'', which encodes the Latin alphabet, plus numerals, punctuation marks, and additional characters commonly used in the United States. Values 0xA0 through 0xFF of each table in ISO 8859 either adds additional characters used in family of languages, or maps the characters in the Latin alphabet to the characters in another alphabet. For example, the table ISO 8859.2 (also called ISO Latin 2) adds to U.S. ASCII the characters used in the languages Albanian, Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, Polish, Romanian, and Croatian; whereas the table ISO 8859.6 maps the Latin alphabet to the Arabic alphabet. Table ISO 8859.1 is also called ISO Latin 1. It adds the national characters used most Romance and Germanic languages (i.e., English, German, Dutch, Flemish, Norwegian, Icelandic, Swedish, Danish, Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese), plus Anglo-Saxon, Irish, and Finnish. Please note that unlike U.S. ASCII, the characters in an ISO 8859 table are not in their proper order for lexical sorting. The character tables for locale-specific sorting are kept elsewhere. As mentioned above, the printable characters 0x20 (space) through 0x7E (tilde) in ISO Latin 1 are the same as they are in U.S. ASCII. The following table gives the additional printable characters that ISO Latin 1 defines, from 0xA1 through 0xFF. The table gives each character's value in octal, decimal, and hexadecimal, and its description. Note that our printer does cannot print every character, so in some cases the description must suffice. 0241 161 0xA1 ¡ Inverted exclamation mark 0242 162 0xA2 ¢ Cent sign 0243 163 0xA3 £ Pound sign 0244 164 0xA4 ¤ Currency sign 0245 165 0xA5 ¥ Yen sign 0246 166 0xA6 ¦ Broken bar 0247 167 0xA7 § Section symbol 0250 168 0xA8 ¨ Diaeresis 0251 169 0xA9 © Copyright sign 0252 170 0xAA ª Feminine ordinal indicator 0253 171 0xAB « Left angle quotation mark 0254 172 0xAC ¬ Not sign 0255 173 0xAD Soft hyphen 0256 174 0xAE ® Registered trade mark sign 0257 175 0xAF ¯ Macron 0260 176 0xB0 ° Ring above or degree sign 0261 177 0xB1 ± Plus-minus sign 0262 178 0xB2 ² Superscript two 0263 179 0xB3 ³ Superscript three 0264 180 0xB4 ´ Acute accent 0265 181 0xB5 µ Micro sign (mu) 0266 182 0xB6 ¶ Pilcrow (paragraph) sign 0267 183 0xB7 · Middle dot 0270 184 0xB8 ¸ Cedilla 0271 185 0xB9 ¹ Superscript one 0272 186 0xBA º Masculine ordinal indicator 0273 187 0xBB » Right angle quotation mark 0274 188 0xBC ¼ Vulgar fraction one quarter 0275 189 0xBD ½ Vulgar fraction one half 0276 190 0xBE ¾ Vulgar fraction three quarters 0277 191 0xBF ¿ Inverted question mark 0300 192 0xC0 À A with grave accent 0301 193 0xC1 Á A with acute accent 0302 194 0xC2 Â A with circumflex accent 0303 195 0xC3 Ã A with tilde 0304 196 0xC4 Ä A with diaeresis 0305 197 0xC5 Å A with ring above 0306 198 0xC6 Æ Diphthong A with E 0307 199 0xC7 Ç C with cedilla 0310 200 0xC8 È E with grave accent 0311 201 0xC9 É E with acute accent 0312 202 0xCA Ê E with circumflex accent 0313 203 0xCB Ë E with diaeresis 0310 204 0xCC Ì I with grave accent 0311 205 0xCD Í I with acute accent 0312 206 0xCE Î I with circumflex accent 0313 207 0xCF Ï I with diaeresis 0320 208 0xD0 Ð Capital eth 0321 209 0xD1 Ñ N with tilde 0322 210 0xD2 Ò O with grave accent 0323 211 0xD3 Ó O with acute accent 0324 212 0xD4 Ô O with circumflex accent 0325 213 0xD5 Õ O with tilde 0326 214 0xD6 Ö O with diaeresis 0327 215 0xD7 × Multiplication sign 0330 216 0xD8 Ø O with oblique stroke 0331 217 0xD9 Ù U with grave accent 0332 218 0xDA Ú U with acute accent 0333 219 0xDB Û U with circumflex accent 0334 220 0xDC Ü U with diaeresis 0335 221 0xDD Ý Y with acute accent 0336 222 0xDE Þ Thorn 0337 223 0xDF ß Sharp s 0340 224 0xE0 à a with grave accent 0341 225 0xE1 á a with acute accent 0342 226 0xE2 â a with circumflex accent 0343 227 0xE3 ã a with tilde 0344 228 0xE4 ä a with diaeresis 0345 229 0xE5 å a with ring above 0346 230 0xE6 æ Diphthong a with e 0347 231 0xE7 ç c with cedilla 0350 232 0xE8 è e with grave accent 0351 233 0xE9 é e with acute accent 0352 234 0xEA ê e with circumflex accent 0353 235 0xEB ë e with diaeresis 0354 236 0xEC ì i with grave accent 0355 237 0xED í i with acute accent 0356 238 0xEE î i with circumflex accent 0357 239 0xEF ï i with diaresis 0360 240 0xF0 ð Small eth 0361 241 0xF1 ñ n with tilde 0362 242 0xF2 ò o with grave accent 0363 243 0xF3 ó o with acute accent 0364 244 0xF4 ô o with circumflex accent 0365 245 0xF5 õ o with tilde 0366 246 0xF6 ö o with diaeresis 0367 247 0xF7 ÷ Division sign 0370 248 0xF8 ø o with oblique stroke 0371 249 0xF9 ù u with grave accent 0372 250 0xFA ú u with acute accent 0373 251 0xFB û u with circumflex accent 0374 252 0xFC ü u with diaresis 0375 253 0xFD ý y with acute accent 0376 254 0xFE þ Small thorn 0377 255 0xFF ÿ y with diaeresis See Also ASCII, Programming COHERENT
