ISO 8859-15, also called
Latin-9, is an
ISO 8859 variant for use with Western European languages, and is an improvement over
ISO 8859-1 (or
Latin-1) for that purpose.
ISO 8859-14 <-- ISO 8859-15 --> ISO 8859-16
The changes from Latin-1 to Latin-9 are these :
code 164 which was U+00A4 ¤ currency sign ¤
becomes U+20AC € Euro sign €
code 166 which was U+00A6 ¦ broken bar ¦
becomes U+0160 Š Latin capital letter S with caron Š
code 168 which was U+00A8 ¨ diaeresis ¨
becomes U+0161 š Latin small letter S with caron š
code 180 which was U+00B4 ´ acute accent ´
becomes U+017D Ž Latin capital letter Z with caron
code 184 which was U+00B8 ¸ cedilla ¸
becomes U+017E ž Latin small letter Z with caron
code 188 which was U+00BC ¼ vulgar fraction one quarter ¼
becomes U+0152 Œ Latin capital ligature oe Œ
code 189 which was U+00BD ½ vulgar fraction one half ½
becomes U+0153 œ Latin small ligature oe œ
code 190 which was U+00BE ¾ vulgar fraction three quarters ¾
becomes U+0178 Ÿ Latin capital letter Y with diaeresis Ÿ
As with all of the ISO 8859 Character Sets, the first 160 characters (the 128 7-bit characters plus the first 32 control characters with the high bit set) are identical to ISO 8859-1 or Latin-1. Thus, I will only list the 8 characters different from ISO 8859-1.
The columns below should be interpreted as :
- The ISO 8859-15 code in Octal
- The ISO 8859-15 code in Decimal
- The ISO 8859-15 code in Hexidecimal
- The Unicode code for the character
- The character in question
- The Unicode name for the character
- The HTML entity if any. (&#xUUUU; always works)
