] Dear all,
]
] ISO has just published ISO/IEC 8859-16:2001 (Latin-10, East European
] Languages, with Euro, Romanian "comma below" characters, etc.),
] essentially intended as a modernized version of ISO 8859-2:

=35&ICS2=40&ICS3=

] I've made a Unicode mapping table based on the data in the FDIS
]
] http://www.egt.ie/standards/iso8859/fdis8859-16-en.pdf
]
] which is now officially available on
]
] ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/ISO8859/8859-16.TXT
]
] Please compare with and update your mapping table collections.
]
] Please add ISO 8859-16 to your character set name registries on
]
] ftp://ftp.x.org/pub/DOCS/registry
] http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets
]
] I do not recommend to actually use ISO 8859-16 for any data exchange
] over the Internet, since UTF-8 can be used for the same purposes and is
] already far more widely implemented. Let's all pray that this will be
] the last part of the now well-stirred ISO 8859 alphabet soup.
