The '''C1 controls''' are the control characters (code positions 128-159 decimal) which are defined by ISO/IEC 6429:1992 and are part of the [[ISO-8859]] encoding. They are also part of a number of other character sets derived from ASCII. They are not often used, and in otherwise equivalent Microsoft character sets (e.g., Windows 1252) they are replaced by printing characters.

The C1 controls are the control characters (code positions 128-159 decimal) which are defined by ISO/IEC 6429:1992 and are part of the ISO-8859 and other encodings. They are not often used, and in otherwise equivalent Microsoft character sets (e.g., Windows 1252) they are replaced by printing characters. Because of their rarity of use, there is little agreement on their exact meaning and implementation.
