These tests check how characters in the range 0x80-0x9F (called the C1 range for ISO code pages) are displayed for HTML and XHTML pages with ISO 8859-1, ISO 8859-15, and Windows 1256 encodings, and whether their presence affects the encoding reported by the user agent..
See the results below for user agents tested. This section summarizes the results of those tests. In what follows, 'HTML' means HTML4.01, HTML5 or XHTML 1.0 served as text/html. XML means XHTML 1.0 or XHTML 1.1 served as application/xhtml+xml.
No user agents displayed code points in the range 0x80-0x9F as the characters in Windows codepage 1252 when the page encoding was ISO 8859-15 or Windows 1256.
All user agents did display the same code points as the characters in Windows codepage 1252 when the page encoding was ISO 8859-1.
In no case was the reported encoding of the page different from what was expected. (Opera and Safari don't report the page encoding.)
These are results for the latest versions of each user agent tested. A green background (yes) means that the assertion associated with the test held true; red (no) means that it did not; orange (partially) means that it was only partially true. To view the assertion, mouse over the text in the left column.
Results are given for four types of document format: H4 (HTML 4.01), H5 (HTML5), XH (XHTML 1.0 served as text/html), X (XHTML 1.0 served as XML), X11 (XHTML 1.1, served as XML).
Each assertion is composed of two parts, and the instructions test for those with three tests; these are reported separately.
