iso_8859-15 \- ISO 8859-15 character set encoded in octal, decimal,
|

and hexadecimal
|
||||
.SH 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.
|
||||
However, it lacks the EURO symbol and does not fully
|
||||
cover Finnish and French.
|
||||
ISO 8859-15 is a modification of ISO 8859-1
|
||||
that covers these needs.
|
||||
.P
|
||||
ISO 8859-15 supports the following languages: Albanian, Basque, Breton,
|
||||
Catalan, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Faroese, Finnish, French,
|
||||
Frisian, Galician, German, Greenlandic, Icelandic, Irish Gaelic,
|
||||
Italian, Latin, Luxemburgish, Norwegian, Portuguese, Rhaeto-Romanic,
|
||||
Scottish Gaelic, Spanish, and Swedish.
|
||||
ISO 8859-15 encodes the
|
||||
characters used in many West European languages and adds the Euro sign.
