ISO 8859-1, more formally cited as ISO/IEC 8859-1 is part 1 of
ISO/IEC 8859, a standard
character encoding of the
Latin alphabet. It is less formally called as Latin-1. It was originally developed by the
ISO, but later jointly maintained by the ISO and the
IEC. The standard, when supplemented with additional character assignments (in the C0 and C1 ranges: 0x00 to 0x1F and 0x7F, and 0x80 to 0x9F), is the basis of two widely-used character maps known as ISO-8859-1 (note the extra hyphen) and
Windows-1252.
