I need to use utf8_decode and utf8_encode from PHP, so I saw something about ISO-8859-1 string. What would that be?
I do not want to know how to use, at the moment, I just want to know the meaning of ISO-8859-1.
What is ISO-8859-1 string? [duplicate]

ISO / IEC 8859-1 is the default character set of Majority of browsers.
The first 128 characters of ISO-8859-1 are the original ASCII set (numbers 0-9, uppercase and lowercase of the English alphabet and some special characters).
Basically ISO 8859-1 is the decoding of Latin characters. See the table here .
For the sake of curiosity, the only difference between utf-8 and ISO 8859-1 is coding, that is, both have the same characters but with different encodings.

(informally, Latin1) is a character encoding of the Latin alphabet. Since all 191 characters encoded by ISO 8859-1 are graphics (not control characters) and are compatible with most browsers. The following is a list of characters. Character list
As this is a Latin character encoding, it accepts accents and some special characters.
