Codepage Chart (Latin 1)
How to use this chart :
This chart serves two purposes.- A handy look-up for ISO character entities, providing glyph, name, syntax, and description. It also includes the hex, Unicode, and HTML equivalents for each character.
- A webmaster / developer tool for determining the proper codepage (character encoding) declaration in documents they create. A codepage is required for web documents to validate properly. This list is not all-inclusive, but does accommodate most western European languages and American English.
Rule: If your page includes characters in the range 0x80–0x9Fh, declare your codepage as follows:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
For xhtml documents, substitute (on first line):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
Elsewise, declare your codepage as:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
For xhtml documents, substitute: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
Text equivalent follows image-map (chart), below.
