And with iso-8859-1, the common default (more or less), if you don't
mind having to do something special with curly quotation marks.

And you can load a Spanish keyboard setting, or the US International
keyboard setting, or (best of all) the Finnish multinational keyboard
setting, in order to be able to type the characters conveniently (e.g.,
using the AltGr key).

Of course, many of the common resources for iso-8859-1 contains the
references you can use, if that's really what you want. Even the HTML
specifications have them.
