## ISO 8859 Character Codes

### Description

International Organization for Standardization (ISO) codes for 8-bit character encodings for use by computers. The data set gives the maps of the characters to Unicode (i.e., the respective ISO 10646 codes).

### Usage

    ISO_8859

### Format

A character array of dimension 256 \times 15 \times 3, with the first dimension corresponding to the character codes from 0 to 255 (0x00 to 0xff), the second to the parts of the ISO 8859 standard, and the third to the Unicode (ISO 10646) code and name, and the respective character.
