ISO 8859-15
ISO 8859-15 is part 15 of ISO 8859, a standard character encoding defined by ISO. It is also known as Latin-9, and unofficially as Latin-0 but not as Latin-15. It encodes characters as 8 bits and can be used to represent the alphabet and other important characters for storing English, French, German, Spanish and Portuguese (among other western European languages) texts on computers.
