ISO 8859-14, also known as Latin-8 or "Celtic", is an 8-bit character encoding, part of the ISO 8859 standard. It was designed originally to cover the Celtic languages, such as Gaelic, Welsh and Breton.
ISO-8859-14 is the IANA charset name for the character encoding ISO/IEC 8859-14 used together with the control codes from ISO/IEC 6429 for the C0 (0x00-0x1F) and C1 (0x80-0x9F) parts. Escape sequences (from ISO/IEC 6429 or ISO/IEC 2022) are not to be interpreted. This charset has aliases iso-ir-199, ISO_8859-14:1998, ISO_8859-14, latin8, iso-celtic and l8.
In the table above, 20 is the regular SPACE character, and A0 is the NO-BREAK SPACE. AD is a SOFT HYPHEN, which should not appear at all in compliant web browsers.
Code values 00-1F, 7F, and 80-9F are not assigned to characters by ISO/IEC 8859-14.
