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.
