ISO 8-bit encodings like Latin-1 are split up into C0/G0/C1/G1 regions.
Check out ECMA-43 "8-bit Coded Character Set Structure and Rules" on
http://www.ecma.ch/ecma1/STAND/ECMA-043.HTM
for details. The problem is more with IBM/Microsoft code pages, which do
not follow ECMA-43 = ISO 4873. Their characters can really only be
accessed via UTF-8 safely in the context of a terminal emulator.
