ISO 8859-1

The IANA allows all of the following aliases for ISO-8859-1 to be used case-insensitively:

• ISO_8859-1:1987
• ISO_8859-1
• ISO-8859-1
• iso-ir-100
• csISOLatin1
• latin1
• l1
• IBM819
• CP819

The following table shows ISO-8859-1, with the 3-letter abbreviations for the control characters shown in underlined text.

In the table above, 20 is the regular SPACE character, and A0 is the NO-BREAK SPACE. AD is a SOFT HYPHEN, which may not appear at all in some web browsers.

There are additional parts to the ISO/IEC 8859 standard that have corresponding IANA-approved character sets, e.g. ISO/IEC 8859-10 (Latin alphabet no. 6) is very similar to character set ISO-8859-10. Each of the ISO/IEC 8859-x parts encodes characters in the same way: they cover the ASCII range (hex 20-7F) plus 96 additional characters in the A0-FF range, for a total of 191 characters. The ISO-8859-x sets each add the C0 control characters from 00-1F, and additional characters in the 80-9F range, thus offering a set of 255 characters. ISO-8859-1 is unique among these sets in that that its coded characters are equivalent to the first 256 code points of Unicode.

ISO-8859-1 is the standard encoding used by the X Window System on most Unix machines.

The following table shows Windows-1252, with the differences from ISO-8859-1 highlighted:

In the table above, 20 is the regular SPACE character, and A0 is the NO-BREAK SPACE. AD is a SOFT HYPHEN, which may not appear at all in some web browsers. 81, 8D, 8F, 90, and 9D are unused.

Older Apple Macintosh computers use a different encoding, MacRoman, that likewise differs in the 80-9F range.

The distinction between ISO 8859-1, ISO--8859-1, Windows-1252, and MacRoman is a common source of confusion among computer programmers.
