 and hexadecimal
 .SH DESCRIPTION
 The ISO 8859 standard includes several 8-bit extensions to the ASCII
 character set (also known as ISO 646-IRV).
-Especially important is
-ISO 8859-1, the "Latin Alphabet No. 1", which has become widely
-implemented and may already be seen as the de-facto standard ASCII
-replacement.
-However, it lacks the EURO symbol and does not fully
-cover Finnish and French.
-ISO 8859-15 is a modification of ISO 8859-1
-that covers these needs.
-.P
-ISO 8859-15 supports the following languages: Albanian, Basque, Breton,
-Catalan, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Faroese, Finnish, French,
-Frisian, Galician, German, Greenlandic, Icelandic, Irish Gaelic,
-Italian, Latin, Luxemburgish, Norwegian, Portuguese, Rhaeto-Romanic,
-Scottish Gaelic, Spanish, and Swedish.
+ISO 8859-15 encodes the
+characters used in many West European languages and adds the Euro sign.
