I am really confused here. In which character set is — a dash? In
the ISO 8859-x series isn't this part of a reserved series which is not
supposed to represent characters (0x80 - 0x9f)? I know that the
Microsoft character sets use these codes, but lynx does seem to be
interpreting them, even when viewing ISO 8859-1. Is this a bug in lynx,
or code put in to interpret Microsoft character sets mislabeled as a
different character set? Or, more likely, I don't understand what this
discussion is about. Could someone explain the basics of this for me?
