Set up latin-1 character encoding

ISO 8859-1 is the ISO standard Latin-1 character set and encoding format. CP1252 is what Microsoft defined as the superset of ISO 8859-1. Thus, there are approximately 27 extra characters that are not included in the standard ISO 8859-1.

When using Latin-1 character encoding, it is recommended that you also refer to the following documents:

• For more information about Basic Latin and the Latin-1 Supplement that together comprise the Latin-1 (or ISO 8859-1) character set and encoding, see the Unicode 7.0 Character Code Charts.
• For an official chart download, go to the ISO website.
• For a Microsoft site that lists both ISO 8859-1 and CP1252, see the Microsoft Go Global Developer Center.
