Latin-1 Supplement Unicode Characters page 1

The Latin-1 Supplement block extends the Basic Latin block by adding additional characters used in Western European languages. This includes letters with diacritics (such as é, ñ, and ö), punctuation marks, and symbols like the Euro sign (€). This block is part of the ISO/IEC 8859-1 encoding standard, which was widely used before the adoption of Unicode. These characters are essential for representing languages such as French, German, Spanish, and Portuguese, ensuring proper orthography and typographic conventions..
