Note: [1][2]

The Latin-1 Supplement (also called C1 Controls and Latin-1 Supplement) is the second Unicode block in the Unicode standard. It encodes the upper range of ISO 8859-1: 80 (U+0080) - FF (U+00FF). Controls C1 (0080–009F) are not graphic. This block ranges from U+0080 to U+00FF, contains 128 characters and includes the C1 controls, Latin-1 punctuation and symbols, 30 pairs of majuscule and minuscule accented Latin characters and 2 mathematical operators.

The C1 controls and Latin-1 Supplement block has been included in its present form, with the same character repertoire since version 1.0 of the Unicode Standard.[3] Its block name in Unicode 1.0 was simply Latin1.[4]

Subheadings

The C1 Controls and Latin-1 Supplement block has four subheadings within its character collection: C1 controls, Latin-1 Punctuation and Symbols, Letters, and Mathematical operator(s).[5]

C1 controls

The C1 controls subheading contains 32 supplementary control codes inherited from ISO/IEC 8859-1 and many other 8-bit character standards. The alias names for the C0 and C1 control codes are taken from ISO/IEC 6429:1992.[5]

Latin-1 punctuation and symbols

The Latin-1 Punctuation and Symbols subheading contains 32 characters of common international punctuation characters, such as inverted exclamation and question marks, and a middle dot; and symbols like currency signs, spacing diacritic marks, vulgar fraction, and superscript numbers.[5]

Letters

The Letters subheading contains 30 pairs of majuscule and minuscule accented or novel Latin characters for western European languages, and two extra minuscule characters not commonly used word-initially.[5]

Mathematical operator

The Mathematical operator subheading is used for the multiplication and division signs.[5]

Number of symbols, letters and control codes

The table below shows the number of each letters, symbols and control codes in each subheadings in the C1 Controls and Latin-1 Supplement block.

Type of subheading Number of symbols Range of characters
C1 controls 32 control codes U+0080 to U+009F
Latin-1 punctuation and symbols 32 punctuation and symbols U+00A0 to U+00BF
Letters 30 pairs of majuscule and minuscule accented Latin characters U+00C0 to U+00D6, U+00D8 to U+00F6 and U+00F8 to U+00FF
Mathematical operators The U+00D7 × MULTIPLICATION SIGN and U+00F7 ÷ DIVISION SIGN symbols. U+00D7 and U+00F7

2. Latin-1 Supplement

Emoji

The Latin-1 Supplement block contains two emoji: U+00A9 and U+00AE.[6][7]

The block has four standardized variants defined to specify emoji-style (U+FE0F VS16) or text presentation (U+FE0E VS15) for the two emoji, both of which default to a text presentation.[8]
