This list has previously told me that the characters 0x80 - 0x9F in ISO 8859-1 are a particular set of control characters from ISO 6429. I also see that the ISO 8859-1 mapping published on unicode.org maps these characters into the Unicode characters with the same code points.
I now see that ISO 8859-1 actually says "The shaded positions [0x00-0x1f og 0x7f-0x9f] correspond to bit combinations that do not represent graphic characters. Their use is outside the scope of ISO 8859; it is specifies in other International Standards, for example ISO 646 or ISO 6429." and I find other sources which say that ISO 8859 does not define any control characters at all, and that users of it must themselves choose a set of characters to use in this range. I find this a little confusing and would like to know whether there really is a fixed, normative interpretation of this character range. -- Lars Marius Garshol, Ontopian <URL: http://www.ontopia.net > ISO SC34/WG3, OASIS GeoLang TC <URL: http://www.garshol.priv.no >
