ISO-8859-15, also known as ISO-Latin-9, is a character set that can be used for most Western European languages. It is a revision of ISO-8859-1, replacing some less common symbols with the euro sign and some other characters that were missing. According to Wikipedia, the ISO-8859-15 character set covers Basque, Catalan, Danish, Dutch (except for IJ/ij), English, Faeroese, Finnish, French, German, Icelandic, Irish, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Rhaeto-Romanic, Scottish Gaelic, Spanish, and Swedish, as well as Albanian (Eastern Europe), Afrikaans, and Swahili (Africa).
LaTeX
In LaTeX, the ISO-8859-15 can be used as an input encoding with the inputenc
package. The eurosym
package is also needed, in order to produce the Euro symbol in the output.
\documentclass{article} \usepackage[latin9]{inputenc} \usepackage{eurosym}\def\texteuro{\euro} \begin{document} c½ur et 100\,¤ \end{document}
ConTeXt
First, you have to download regi-il9.tex and put it into texmf/tex/context/third/. Then, you can use ISO-8859-15 as an input encoding via the \useregime and \enableregime commands.
\useregime[il9] \enableregime[il9] \starttext c½ur et 100\,¤ \stoptext
This produces the following output (which unfortunately appears to be broken in this Wiki):
