   ISO  8859  includes  several  8-bit  ASCII  extensions. Especially 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. The full set of ISO 8859 alphabets includes:

   ISO 8859-1  west European languages (Latin-1)
   ISO 8859-2  east European languages (Latin-2)
   ISO 8859-3  southeast European and miscellaneous languages (Latin-3)
   ISO 8859-4  Scandinavia/Baltic languages (Latin-4)
   ISO 8859-5  Latin/Cyrillic
   ISO 8859-6  Latin/Arabic
   ISO 8859-7  Latin/Greek
   ISO 8859-8  Latin/Hebrew
   ISO 8859-9  Latin-1 modification for Turkey (Latin-5)
   ISO 8859-10 Lappish/Nordic/Eskimo languages (Latin-6)

   ISO  8859-1  supports  the  following  languages:  Afrikaans,  Basque,
   Catalan,  Danish, Dutch, English, Faeroese, Finnish, French, Galician,
   German, Icelandic, Irish, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, and
   Swedish.

   ISO 8859 Latin-1 Character Set

   The following table displays the ISO 8859 Latin-1 character set.

   The first field is the octal code for the character, the second is the
   name (patterned after the GNU Emacs naming scheme in the iso-insert.el
   library),  the  third is the equivalent TeX command, and the fourth is
   the character itself (however your terminal may display it).
