iso8859-15(5) File Formats Manual iso8859-15(5) NAME ISO8859-15, iso8859-15 - A character encoding system (codeset) for Al- banian, Basque, Breton, Catalan, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Faroese, Finnish, French, Frisian, Galician, German, Greenlandic, Ice- landic, Irish Gaelic, Italian, Latin, Luxemburgish, Norwegian, Por- tuguese, Rhaeto-Romanic, Scottish Gaelic, and Swedish DESCRIPTION The operating system provides no locales based on ISO 8859-15 (Latin-9), which is very similar to ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1) except for the inclusion of the Euro currency sign (C=). Latin-9 is supported mainly as a means to supply fonts for languages that need to display and print this character. ISO 8859-15, UCS-2, UCS-4, UTF-8, and a limited number of PC code pages (cp125* and cp874) are the only encoding formats that support the Euro character. In terms of DIGITAL UNIX locales, only those whose names end in support the Euro monetary sign. Font support for the Euro character is enabled through the fonts supplied for ISO 8859-15 and a set of codeset converters that convert data from the other encoding formats to ISO8859-15. Refer to Unicode(5) for information about the UCS-2, UCS-4, and UTF-8 encoding formats and to code_page(5) for information about PC code pages. The iconv_intro(5) reference page provides an introduction to codeset converters. Note The Euro currency sign was not defined in Unicode codesets before Ver- sion 2.1 of the Unicode standard, so implementations of Unicode encod- ing formats based on prior versions of the standard do not include the character. The ISO 8859-15 Code Table The left hand part of the ISO 8859-15 code table includes the same characters as defined in the ASCII codeset (refer to ascii(5)). The following characters occupy the right hand part of the ISO 8859-15 code table: A0 NO-BREAK SPACE A1 INVERTED EXCLAMATION A2 CENT SIGN A3 POUND SIGN A4 EURO SIGN A5 YEN SIGN A6 CAPITAL LETTER S WITH CARON A7 SECTION SIGN A8 SMALL LETTER s WITH CARON A9 COPYRIGHT SIGN AA FEMININE ORDINAL INDICATOR AB LEFT ANGLE QUOTATION MARK AC NOT SIGN AD SOFT HYPHEN AE REGISTERED TRADEMARK SIGN AF MACRON B0 RING ABOVE, DEGREE SIGN B1 PLUS-MINUS SIGN B2 SUPERSCRIPT TWO B3 SUPERSCRIPT THREE B4 CAPITAL LETTER Z WITH CARON B5 MICRO SIGN B6 PILCROW SIGN B7 MIDDLE DOT B8 SMALL LETTER z WITH CARON B9 SUPERSCRIPT ONE BA MASCULINE ORDINAL INDICATOR BB RIGHT ANGLE DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK BC CAPITAL LIGATURE OE BD SMALL LIGATURE oe BE CAPITAL LETTER Y WITH DIAERESIS BF INVERTED QUESTION MARK C0 CAPITAL LETTER A WITH GRAVE ACCENT C1 CPAITAL LETTER A WITH ACUTE ACCENT C2 CAPITAL LETTER A WITH CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT C3 CAPTIAL LETTER A WITH TILDE C4 CAPITAL LETTER A WITH DIAERSIS C5 CAPITAL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE C6 CAPITAL DIPHTHONG A WITH E C7 CAPTIAL LETTER C WITH CEDILLA C8 CAPITAL LETTER E WITH GRAVE ACCENT C9 CAPITAL LETTER E WITH ACUTE ACCENT CA CAPITAL LETTER E WITH CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT CB CAPITAL LETTER E WITH DIAERSIS CC CAPITAL LETTER I WITH GRAVE ACCENT CD CAPITAL LETTER I WITH ACUTE ACCENT CE CAPITAL LETTER I WITH CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT CF CAPITAL LETTER I WITH DIAERSIS D0 CAPITAL LETTER ETH D1 CAPITAL LETTER N WITH TILDE D2 CAPITAL LETTER O WITH GRAVE ACCENT D3 CAPITAL LETTER O WITH ACUTE ACCENT D4 CAPITAL LETTER O WITH CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT D5 CAPITAL LETTER O WITH TILDE D6 CAPITAL LETTER O WITH DIAERSIS D7 MULTIPLICATION SIGN D8 CAPITAL LETTER O WITH OBLIQUE STROKE D9 CAPITAL LETTER U WITH GRAVE ACCENT DA CAPITAL LETTER U WITH ACUTE ACCENT DB CAPITAL LETTER U WITH CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT DC CAPITAL LETTER U WITH DIAERSIS DD CAPITAL LETTER Y WITH ACUTE ACCENT DE CAPITAL LETTER THORN DF SMALL GERMAN LETTER SHARP s E0 SMALL LETTER a WITH GRAVE ACCENT E1 SMALL LETTER a WITH ACUTE ACCENT E2 SMALL LETTER a WITH CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT E3 SMALL LETTER a WITH TILDE E4 SMALL LETTER a WITH DIAERSIS E5 SMALL LETTER a WITH RING ABOVE E6 SMALL DIPHTHONG a WITH e E7 SMALL LETTER c WITH CEDILLA E8 SMALL LETTER e WITH GRAVE ACCENT E9 SMALL LETTER e WITH ACUTE ACCENT EA SMALL LETTER e WITH CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT EB SMALL LETTER e WITH DIAERSIS EC SMALL LETTER i WITH GRAVE ACCENT ED SMALL LETTER i WITH ACUTE ACCENT EE SMALL LETTER i WITH CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT EF SMALL LETTER i WITH DIAERSIS F0 SMALL ICELANDIC LETTER ETH F1 SMALL LETTER n WITH TILDE F2 SMALL LETTER o WITH GRAVE ACCENT F3 SMALL LETTER o WITH ACUTE ACCENT F4 SMALL LETTER o WITH CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT F5 SMALL LETTER o WITH TILDE F6 SMALL LETTER o WITH DIAERSIS F7 DIVISION SIGN F8 SMALL LETTER o WITH OBLIQUE STROKE F9 SMALL LETTER u WITH GRAVE ACCENT FA SMALL LETTER u WITH ACUTE ACCENT FB SMALL LETTER u WITH CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT FC SMALL LETTER u WITH DIAERSIS FD SMALL LETTER y WITH ACUTE ACCENT FE SMALL LETTER THORN FF SMALL LETTER y WITH DIAERSIS Codeset Conversion The following converter pairs are available for converting between ISO8859-15 and other encoding formats. For more information about the other encoding format for which ISO8859-15 is the input or output, see the reference page specified in the list item. Refer to iconv_intro(5) for information about using codeset converters. UCS-2_ISO8859-15, ISO8859-15_UCS-2 Converting from and to UCS-2: Unicode(5) UCS-4_ISO8859-15, ISO8859-15_UCS-4 Converting from and to UCS-4: Unicode(5) UTF-8_ISO8859-15, ISO8859-15_UTF-8 Converting from and to UTF-8: Unicode(5) There are no codeset converters that convert directly between the cp125* formats for Latin-1/Latin-9 languages and ISO8859-15. Therefore, a preliminary conversion from cp125* formats to UCS-2, UCS-4, or UTF-8 is required in order to convert data in code-page format to ISO8859-15. Font Support for ISO 8859-15 The operating system includes only bitmap fonts for the ISO8859-15 codeset. Although no PostScript fonts are included for this codeset, you can set up a generic print filter to substitute in a print job the appropriate PostScript font glyphs available in fonts provided for other codesets. Refer to i18n_printing(5) and wwpsof(8) for more infor- mation. 100dpi Bitmap Fonts The following 100dpi bitmap fonts are available for the ISO8859-15 codeset. Unless the point size options are explicitly specified in parentheses following the font name, you can assume the font is avail- able in 8-, 10-, 12-, 14-, 18-, and 24-point sizes: -adobe-courier-bold-o-normal--*-*-*-*-m-*-iso8859-15 -adobe-courier- bold-r-normal--*-*-*-*-m-*-iso8859-15 -adobe-courier-medium-o-nor- mal--*-*-*-*-m-*-iso8859-15 -adobe-courier-medium-r-nor- mal--*-*-*-*-m-*-iso8859-15 -adobe-helvetica-bold-o-nor- mal--*-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-15 -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-nor- mal--*-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-15 -adobe-helvetica-medium-o-nor- mal--*-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-15 -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-nor- mal--*-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-15 -adobe-itc avant garde gothic-book-o-nor- mal--*-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-15 -adobe-itc avant garde gothic-book-r-nor- mal--*-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-15 -adobe-itc avant garde gothic-demi-o-nor- mal--*-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-15 -adobe-itc avant garde gothic-demi-r-nor- mal--*-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-15 -adobe-itc lubalin graph-book-o-nor- mal--*-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-15 -adobe-itc lubalin graph-book-r-nor- mal--*-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-15 -adobe-itc lubalin graph-demi-o-nor- mal--*-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-15 -adobe-itc lubalin graph-demi-r-nor- mal--*-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-15 -adobe-itc souvenir-demi-i-nor- mal--*-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-15 -adobe-itc souvenir-demi-r-nor- mal--*-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-15 -adobe-itc souvenir-light-i-nor- mal--*-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-15 -adobe-itc souvenir-light-r-nor- mal--*-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-15 -adobe-new century schoolbook-bold-i-nor- mal--*-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-15 -adobe-new century schoolbook-bold-r-nor- mal--*-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-15 -adobe-new century schoolbook-medium-i-nor- mal--*-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-15 -adobe-new century schoolbook-medium-r-nor- mal--*-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-15 -adobe-times-bold-i-nor- mal--*-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-15 -adobe-times-bold-r-nor- mal--*-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-15 -adobe-times-medium-i-nor- mal--*-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-15 -adobe-times-medium-r-nor- mal--*-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-15 -adobe-utopia-bold-i-nor- mal--*-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-15 (10,12,14,18,24) -adobe-utopia-bold-r-nor- mal--*-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-15 (10,12,14,18,24) -adobe-utopia-regular-i- normal--*-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-15 (10,12,14,18,24) -adobe-utopia-regular- r-normal--*-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-15 (10,12,14,18,24) -b&h-lucida-bold-i- normal-sans-*-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-15 -b&h-lucida-bold-r-normal- sans-*-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-15 -b&h-lucida-medium-i-normal- sans-*-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-15 -b&h-lucida-medium-r-normal- sans-*-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-15 -b&h-lucidabright-demibold-i-nor- mal--*-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-15 -b&h-lucidabright-demibold-r-nor- mal--*-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-15 -b&h-lucidabright-medium-i-nor- mal--*-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-15 -b&h-lucidabright-medium-r-nor- mal--*-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-15 -b&h-lucidatypewriter-bold-r-normal- sans-*-*-*-*-m-*-iso8859-15 -b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal- sans-*-*-*-*-m-*-iso8859-15 -bitstream-charter-medium-i-nor- mal--*-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-15 -bitstream-charter-medium-r-nor- mal--*-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-15 -bitstream-terminal-medium-r-nor- mal--*-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-15 (14,18,28,36) -bitstream-terminal-bold-r- normal--*-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-15 (14,18,28,36) -dec-terminal-bold-r-nor- mal--*-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-15 (10,20) -dec-terminal-medium-r-nor- mal--*-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-15 (10,20) -dec-vt330-bold-r-nor- mal--*-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-15 (14,28) -dec-vt330-medium-r-nor- mal--*-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-15 (14,28) 75dpi Bitmap Fonts The following 75dpi bitmap fonts are available for the ISO8859-15 code- set.
