Latin-1 Supplement - Everything2.com

The Unicode code block Latin-1 Supplement extends the basic 26 letter pairs of ASCII by providing additional letters for major languages of Europe. Like ASCII, the Latin-1 set also includes a miscellaneous set of punctuation and mathematical signs.

The languages supported by the Latin-1 supplement include Danish, Dutch, Faroese, Finnish, Flemish, German, Icelandic, Irish, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish and Swedish.

U+00AA ª feminine ordinal indicator and U+00BA º masculine ordinal indicator can be depicted with an underscore, but many modern fonts show them as superscripted Latin letters with no underscore. In sorting and searching, these characters should be treated as weakly equivalent to their Latin character equivalents.

All diacritics in this block are unambiguously spacing characters. For combining or non-spacing diacritics, see the Combining Diacritical Marks code block.

Unicode's Latin-1 Supplement code block reserves the 128 code points from U+0080 to U+00FF, of which all 128 are currently assigned.
