The OVERLAP_ISO character set

The ISO Latin-1 character set is a superset of the ASCII character set. In addition to the standard ASCII characters, this character set contains the ISO Latin-1 alphabetic characters, arranging the ISO characters into groups of similar-looking characters so that they will share the same numeric values. Uppercase and lowercase characters are grouped together.

Four exceptions that defy convenient categorization are assigned their own unique values and are listed in the following table.
Character name Lowercase symbol Lowercase value Uppercase symbol Uppercase value
AE diphthong æ 0xE6 æ 0xC6
Icelandic Eth 0xF0 Atilde; 0xD0
Icelandic Thorn Ecirc; 0xFE Ecirc; 0xDE
German small sharp s ß 0xDF
