ISO/IEC 8859-10:1998, titled Information technology — 8-bit single-byte coded graphic character sets — Part 10: Latin alphabet No. 6, belongs to the ISO/IEC 8859 collection of ASCII-based character encoding standards, initially released in 1992. Referred to as Latin-6, this encoding was developed to provide enhanced support for Nordic languages compared to ISO 8859-4.
The charset name ISO-8859-10 is the preferred designation by the IANA when used alongside the C0 and C1 control codes defined in ISO/IEC 6429. Within Microsoft Windows environments, it is identified as code page 28600 or Windows-28600, whereas IBM labels it as Code page 919. Additionally, it is standardized by Ecma International under the name ECMA-144.

ISO-IR 158 Codepage layout
ISO-IR 158 represents an additional ISO 2022 graphic set that incorporates characters missing from ISO-8859-10 but essential for writing Skolt Sami and historic Sami scripts. It is intended to be employed within an ISO 4873 profile tailored for Sami languages, functioning as a G2 or G3 set (prefixed by 0x8E/ or 0x8F/) alongside the principal Latin-6 (ISO 8859-10) G1 set. Both ISO-IR-158 and ISO-IR-197 are cited in an annex of ISO 8859 as providing superior orthographic coverage for certain Sámi languages such as Skolt Sámi compared to either ISO-8859-4 or basic ISO-8859-10.
Included in the chart is a symbol historically used to indicate an aspirated consonant, often depicted as a reversed apostrophe or a raised left-half ring, referred to as "high ogonek". The subsequent table displays this supplementary graphical set.
