"The encoding is a superset of ISO 8859-1, but differs from the IANA's
ISO-8859-1 by using displayable characters rather than control characters
in the 0x80 to 0x9F range."

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows-1252, made more visible in the
codechart for the 8- and 9- prefixes. In ISO-8859-1 these contain the C1
controlcodes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C0_and_C1_control_codes
