ISO-8859-3

Latin3 is popular with authors of Esperanto (eo), Maltese (mt), and it covered Turkish before the introduction of Latin5.

ISO-8859-4

Latin4 introduced letters for Estonian, Baltic languages, Latvian and Lithuanian, Greenlandic and Lappish. It is an incomplete precursor of Latin6.

ISO-8859-5

With these Cyrillic letters you can type Bulgarian (bg), Byelorussian (be), Macedonian (mk), Russian (ru), Serbian (sr) and Ukrainian (uk).

ISO-8859-6

This is the Arabic (ar) alphabet.

Note: This version of Rogue Wave Views does not support bidirectional text.

ISO-8859-7

This is modern Greek (el).

ISO-8859-8

This is Hebrew (iw).

Note: This version of Rogue Wave Views does not support bidirectional text.

ISO-8859-9

Latin5 replaces the rarely needed Icelandic letters in Latin1 with the Turkish (tr) ones.

ISO-8859-10

Latin6 rearranged Latin4, added the last missing Inuit (Greenlandic Eskimo) and non-Skolt Sami (Lappish) letters, and reintroduced the rarely Icelandic letters to cover the entire Nordic area:

Estonian (et)

Lapp

Latvian (lv)

Lithuanian (lt)

Skolt Sami still needs a few more accents.

ISO-8859-11

To cover the Thai language. On UNIX systems, this is similar to the tis620 encoding.

ISO-8859-13

To cover the Baltic Rim. Latin7 is going to cover the Baltic Rim and re-establish the Latvian (lv) support lost in Latin6 and may introduce the local quotation marks. It resembles WinBaltic, that is, windows-1257.

ISO-8859-14

To cover Celtic. Latin8 adds the last Gaelic and Welsh (cy) letters to Latin1 to cover all Celtic languages.

ISO-8859-15

Similar to Latin1 with euro and oe ligature. The new Latin9 nicknamed Latin0 aims to update Latin1 by replacing the less needed symbols ¨´¸ with forgotten French and Finnish letters and placing the U+20AC Euro sign in the cell =A4 of the former international currency sign ¤.

EUC-JP

Extended UNIX Code for Japanese.

Standardized by UNIX International and UNIX Systems Laboratories Pacific. Uses ISO 2022 rules to select:

code set 1: JIS X0208-1990 (a double 8-bit byte set) restricted to A0-FF in both bytes

code set 2: Half Width Katakana (a single 7-bit byte set) requiring SS2 as the character prefix

code set 3: JIS X0212-1990 (a double 7-bit byte set) restricted to A0-FF in both bytes requiring SS3 as the character prefix

Shift_JIS

A Microsoft code that extends csHalfWidthKatakana to include kanji by adding a second byte when the value of the first byte is in the ranges 81-9F or E0-EF.

EUC-KR (KS C 5861-1992)

Extended UNIX Code for Korean.
