__Note:__ iso_8859-15 (aka Latin9) is basically an updated Western/Latin encoding. It is mostly identical to iso_8859_1(7) (aka Latin1), but a few of the rarely-used characters were dropped, and several new characters were added - most significantly, the Euro symbol (€) which wasn't around when iso_8859-1 was created.

The character positions different to iso_8859_1(7) are (in octal):  244  246  250 255  264 270  274  275 and 276.

!!NAME
iso_8859-15 - the ISO 8859-15 character set encoded in octal, decimal, and hexadecimal

!!DESCRIPTION
The ISO 8859 standard includes several 8-bit extensions to the ASCII character set (also known as ISO 646-IRV).  Especially important is ISO 8859-1, the "Latin Alphabet No. 1", which has become widely implemented and may already be seen as the de-facto standard ASCII replacement.  However, it lacks the EURO symbol and does not fully  cover Finnish and French.  ISO 8859-15 is a modification of ISO 8859-1 that covers these needs.

ISO 8859-15 supports the following languages: Albanian, Basque, Breton, Catalan, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Faroese, Finnish, French, Frisian, Galician, German, Greenlandic, Icelandic, Irish Gaelic, Italian, Latin, Luxemburgish, Norwegian, Portuguese, Rhaeto-Romanic, Scottish Gaelic, Spanish, and Swedish.
