NAME
       iso-88591 - map of ISO 8859-1 character set, Latin Alphabet No. 1

DESCRIPTION
       Iso-88591 is a map of the 8-bit single-byte coded graphic character
       set specified by International Standard ISO 8859-1.  ISO 8859-1
       specifies a set of 191 graphic characters identified as Latin
       alphabet No. 1, commonly called Latin 1.

   Spaces and Soft Hyphens
       The ISO 8859 standard contains the following definitions:

       space (SP)            This character may be interpreted as a graphic
                             character, a control character or as both.  As
                             a graphic character it has the visual
                             representation consisting of the absence of a
                             graphic symbol.

       no-break space (NBSP) A graphic character the visual representation
                             of which consists of the absence of a graphic
                             symbol, for use when a line break is to be
                             prevented in the text as presented.

       soft hyphen (SHY)     A graphic character that is imaged by a graphic
                             symbol identical with, or similar to, that
                             representing hyphen, for use when a line break
                             has been established within a word.

   Latin 1 in Man Pages
       Starting with Release 5.4.2, the DG/UX man pages are coded in Latin 1
       rather than ASCII.  In addition to Latin 1 characters, the man pages
       also contain backspace sequences to emulate characters that are
       neither Latin 1 nor ASCII.  These emulated characters are not,
       strictly speaking, Latin 1, since the standard states, "The use of
       control functions for the coded representation of composite
       characters is prohibited by ISO 8859."
