See also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin-1_Supplement_(Unicode_block) for the latin-1 supplement, not to be confused with 8859-1. The header of the 8859-1 page is telling: """ ISO/IEC 8859-1 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Latin1) For the Unicode block also called "Latin 1", see Latin-1 Supplement (Unicode block). For the character encoding commonly mislabeled as "ISO-8859-1", see Windows-1252.
