Questions tagged [iso-8859-15]

A single byte character set in the ISO/IEC 8859 series of ASCII standard character encodings, including the Euro currency symbol and a few other replacements.

ISO/IEC 8859-15:1999, Information technology — 8-bit single-byte coded graphic character sets — Part 15: Latin alphabet No. 9, is part of the ISO/IEC 8859 series of -based standard s, first edition published in 1999. It is informally referred to as Latin-9 (and was for a while called Latin-0).

It is similar to , and thus generally intended for “Western European” languages, but replaces some less common symbols with the sign and some letters that were now deemed missing in part 1 for the target use.

ISO-8859-15 is the IANA preferred charset name for this standard when supplemented with the C0 and C1 control codes from ISO-6429. Microsoft has assigned code page 28605 aka Windows-28605 to ISO-8859-15.

There were attempts to make ISO-8859-15 the default character set for 8-bit communication, but it was never able to supplant the popular ISO-8859-1. However, it did see some use as a character set for terminal or textual programs under Linux when the Euro sign was needed, but the use of full (Unicode) was not practical. All the printable characters from both ISO/IEC 8859-1 and ISO/IEC 8859-15 are also found in .
