ISO 8859-15 , more precisely ISO / IEC 8859-15 (also known as Latin-9 ), is an information technology standard last updated by ISO in 1999 for character encoding with eight bits and the fifteenth part of the ISO / IEC 8859 family of standards .

The characters that can be coded with seven bits correspond to US- ASCII with a leading zero bit. In addition to the 95 representable ASCII characters (20 16 –7E 16 ), ISO 8859-15 encodes 96 more (A0 16 –FF 16 ), so a total of 191 of the theoretically possible 256 (= 2 8 ). Positions 00 16 –1F 16 and 7F 16 –9F 16 are not assigned any characters in ISO / IEC 8859 and therefore ISO / IEC 8859-15. This area was deliberately kept free in order to be able to use the corresponding bytes for device control or to ensure that these do not conflict with such control characters if the coding is insufficiently specified. The designation ISO-8859-15 (with hyphen) defined by the IANA stands for the combination of the characters of this standard with non-displayable control characters according to ISO / IEC 6429. Since October 2016, 0.1% of all websites have been using ISO 8859-15

In contrast to ISO 8859-1, ISO 8859-15 contains the euro symbol and all special characters from the French , Estonian and Finnish languages. Windows-1252 covers the character set of both ISO-8859 character sets, but only those from Latin-1 in the same positions; Characters added in Latin-9 are in the range 80 16 –9F 16 .

SP ( space ) at position 20 16 is the space , NBSP ( no-break space , including non-breaking space ) to position A0 16 is the non-breaking spaces and SHY ( soft hyphen ) at position AD 16 is the conditional hyphen , which normally is only visible at the end of the line.
