ISO/IEC 8859-1 encodes what it refers to as "Latin alphabet no. 1", consisting of 191 characters from the Latin script. This character-encoding scheme is used throughout the Americas, Western Europe, Oceania, and much of Africa. It is the basis for some popular 8-bit character sets and the first two blocks of characters in Unicode.
The Latin-1 Supplement (also called C1 Controls and Latin-1 Supplement) is the second Unicode block in the Unicode standard. It encodes the upper range of ISO 8859-1 : 80 (U+0080) - FF (U+00FF). C1 Controls (0080–009F) are not graphic.
The earlier seven-bit U.S. American Standard Code for Information Interchange ('ASCII') encoding has characters sufficient to properly represent only a few languages such as English, Latin, Malay and Swahili. It is missing some letters and letter-diacritic combinations used in other Latin-alphabet languages.
Symbol Set 5T — Windows 3.1 Latin-5 (Practically the same as code page 1254) Symbol Set 6J — Microsoft Publishing; Symbol Set 6M — Ventura Math; Symbol Set 6N — ISO 8859-10 Latin 6; Symbol Set 6S — ISO 85: 7-bit Spanish; Symbol Set 7H — ISO 8859-8 Latin/Hebrew; Symbol Set 9E — Windows 3.1 Latin 2 (Practically the same as code page ...
The WHATWG Encoding Standard, which specifies the character encodings permitted in HTML5 which compliant browsers must support, [12] includes most parts of ISO/IEC 8859, [13] except for parts 1, 9 and 11, which are instead interpreted as Windows-1252, Windows-1254 and Windows-874 respectively. [14]
Punched tape with the word "Wikipedia" encoded in ASCII.Presence and absence of a hole represents 1 and 0, respectively; for example, W is encoded as 1010111.. Character encoding is the process of assigning numbers to graphical characters, especially the written characters of human language, allowing them to be stored, transmitted, and transformed using computers.

The phrase ANSI character set has no well-defined meaning and has been used to refer to the following, among other things: . Windows code pages, a collection of 8-bit character sets compatible with ASCII but incompatible with each other, especially those code pages that are partly compatible with ISO-8859, most commonly Windows Latin 1
The PostScript Latin 1 Encoding (often spelled ISOLatin1Encoding) is one of the character sets (or encoding vectors) used by Adobe Systems' PostScript (PS) since 1984 (1982). In 1995, IBM assigned code page 1277 (CCSID 1277) to this character set. [1] [2] It is a superset of ISO 8859-1.
