It is the basis for some popular 8-bit character sets and the first two blocks of characters in Unicode. As of December 2024 [update] , 1.1% of all web sites use ISO/IEC 8859-1 . [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is the most declared single-byte character encoding, but as Web browsers and the HTML5 standard [ 3 ] interpret them as the superset Windows-1252 ...
The ISO/IEC 8859 standard parts only define printable characters, although they explicitly set apart the byte ranges 0x00–1F and 0x7F–9F as "combinations that do not represent graphic characters" (i.e. which are reserved for use as control characters) in accordance with ISO/IEC 4873; they were designed to be used in conjunction with a ...
The identifier ISO 8859-15 was proposed for the Sami languages in 1996, which was eventually rejected, but was passed as ISO-IR 197. [6] [7] [8]ISO 8859-16 was proposed as a similar encoding to today's ISO 8859-15, to replace 11 unused or rarely used ISO 8859-1 characters with the missing French Œ œ (at the same spot as same place as DEC-MCS and Lotus International Character Set) and Ÿ ...
In 1973, ECMA-35 and ISO 2022 [18] attempted to define a method so an 8-bit "extended ASCII" code could be converted to a corresponding 7-bit code, and vice versa. [19] In a 7-bit environment, the Shift Out would change the meaning of the 96 bytes 0x20 through 0x7F [a] [21] (i.e. all but the C0 control codes), to be the characters that an 8-bit environment would print if it used the same code ...
The Latin-1 Punctuation and Symbols subheading contains 32 characters of common international punctuation characters, such as the inverted question and exclamation marks, a middle dot, and symbols such as currency signs, spacing diacritic marks, vulgar fractions, and superscript numbers.
ISO/IEC 8859-2:1999, Information technology — 8-bit single-byte coded graphic character sets — Part 2: Latin alphabet No. 2, is part of the ISO/IEC 8859 series of ASCII-based standard character encodings, first edition published in 1987.
The NeXT character set (often aliased as NeXTSTEP encoding vector, WE8NEXTSTEP [1] or next-multinational [2]) was used by the NeXTSTEP and OPENSTEP operating systems on NeXT workstations beginning in 1988.
However, the WHATWG Encoding Standard, which specifies the character encodings which are permitted in HTML5 and which compliant browsers must support, [7] requires that web pages marked as ISO-8859-9 be handled as Windows-1254, [3] which differs from ISO-8859-9 by using the CR range which ISO-8859-9 reserves for C1 control codes for additional ...
