This charset is available in recode under the name latin1.
In fact, it's true name is ISO_8859-1:1987 as per RFC 1345,
accepted aliases being CP819, IBM819, ISO-8859-1,
ISO_8859-1, iso-ir-100, l1 and latin1. The
shortest way of specifying it in recode is l1.
This charset corresponds to the ISO Latin Alphabet 1. It is an eight-bit code which coincides with ASCII for the lower half.
This documentation used to include Latin-1 tables. They have been
removed since recode can now recreate these (and a lot of others)
easily:
recode -lf latin1 for commented ISO Latin-1 recode -ld latin1 for concise decimal table recode -lo latin1 for concise octal table recode -lh latin1 for concise hexadecimal table
The following from `lasko@video.dec.com' (Tim Lasko), with no date.
ISO Latin-1, or more completely ISO Latin Alphabet No 1, is now an international standard as of February 1987 (IS 8859, Part 1). For those American USEnet'rs that care, the 8-bit ASCII standard, which is essentially the same code, is going through the final administrative processes prior to publication.ISO Latin-1 (IS 8859/1) is actually one of an entire family of eight-bit one-byte character sets, all having ASCII on the left hand side, and with varying repertoires on the right hand side:
Pt 1. Latin Alphabet No 1 (caters to Western Europe - now approved)
Pt 2. Latin Alphabet No 2 (caters to Eastern Europe - now approved)
Pt 3. Latin Alphabet No 3 (caters to SE Europe + others - in draft ballot)
Pt 4. Latin Alphabet No 4 (caters to Northern Europe - in draft ballot)
Pt 5. Latin-Cyrillic alphabet (right half all Cyrillic - processing
currently suspended pending USSR input)
Pt 6. Latin-Arabic alphabet (right half all Arabic - now approved)
Pt 7. Latin-Greek alphabet (right half Greek + symbols - in draft ballot)
Pt 8. Latin-Hebrew alphabet (right half Hebrew + symbols - proposed)
