If you're looking for character display encodings, you're looking for
the ISO 8859 series.  8859/1.2 is called "Latin-1" and is the standard set
for most European languages.  There are several others for Greek, Arabic,
Hebrew, Turkish, et cetera.

There's another standard for keyboard mappings, but I seem to have misplaced
mine ...
