ASCII and Latin-1 characters

ASCII and Latin-1 Characters

The ASCII character set is defined in ANSI standard X3.4-1986. The Latin-1 character set (Latin Alphabet No. 1) is defined in ISO standard 8859-1. PostScript is defined in the PostScript Language Reference Manual by Adobe Systems Incorporated. The Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) is defined in ISO standard 8879.

The table below shows for each character in Latin Alphabet No. 1 the hexadecimal value, symbol, Latin-1 name, ASCII name, PostScript name, PostScript code (in the StandardEncoding Encoding Vector), and SGML entity name. The PostScript code for each Latin-1 character in the ISOLation1Encoding Encoding Vector is the octal value of the character, except for the grave accent; the ISOLatin1Encoding code for the grave accent is 221, but the octal value of its position in the ISO Latin-1 standard (8859-1) is 140, the equivalent of hexadecimal 60 or bit combination 06/00. An SGML text entity is encoded by putting an ampersand (&) before the name and a semicolon (;) after it.
