ISO/IEC 8859 is a family of 8-bit character encodings that are extensions of ASCII. All of them reserve code values 80 through 9F (128 through 159 decimal) for control characters, though a lot of websites and e-mail programs bogusly indicate one of these encodings for content that actually uses printable characters in those positions via some proprietary system-specific encoding (usually Windows).

ISO/IEC 8859 is a family of 8-bit character encodings that are extensions of ASCII. All of them reserve code values 80 through 9F (128 through 159 decimal) for control characters, though a lot of websites and e-mail programs bogusly indicate one of these encodings for content that actually uses printable characters in those positions via some proprietary system-specific encoding (usually Windows). The ISO 8859 encodings are the following:
- ISO 8859-1: Latin-1, used for western European languages including English [Code table]
- ISO 8859-2: Latin-2, used for central and eastern European languages [Code table]
- ISO 8859-3: Latin-3, for Esperanto, Galician, Maltese, and Turkish [Code table]
- ISO 8859-4: Latin-4, for Scandinavian and Baltic languages [Code table]
- ISO 8859-5: Cyrillic characters [Code table]
- ISO 8859-6: Arabic characters [Code table]
- ISO 8859-7: Modern Greek [Code table]
- ISO 8859-8: Hebrew [Code table]
- ISO 8859-9: Latin-5, Turkish variant of Latin-1 [Code table]
- ISO 8859-10: Latin-6, for Lappish, Nordic, and Inuit languages [Code table]
- ISO 8859-11: Thai [Code table]
- (ISO 8859-12 was abandoned)
- ISO 8859-13: Latin-7, Baltic Rim languages [Code table]
- ISO 8859-14: Latin-8, Celtic [Code table]
- ISO 8859-15: Latin-9, Revision of Latin-1, includes Euro sign [Code table]
- ISO 8859-16: Latin-10, Romanian [Code table]
