Yeah me too.

It's the -3 one. http://www.bydg.pdi.net/~turismo/iso3/enkodigo.html --

"ISO-8859-3 (1988)   [ ECMA-94 ]:  "Latina alfabeto n-ro 3" (por suda
Euxropo kaj Esperanto)"

That page is in Latin-3 whereas london.pm.org uses HTML character
entities & UTF-8.

It seems to display on XP and Debian Linux (xfonts-
100dpi/75dpi/base/scalable - usual ones). There are a few ways of
representing those letters in ASCII: the "x" system or using ^ after the
letters. C^u vi komprenas? Jes, mi ankaux. I haven't got my xterm to do
it with AltGr yet (and probably wouldn't be thanked anyway.)
