iso_8859-15(7) -- Linux man page
NAME
iso_8859-15 - the ISO 8859-15 character set encoded in octal, decimal,
and hexadecimal
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.
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.
