"The use of control functions for the coded representation of composite characters is prohibited by ISO 8859" -- [section 0: Introduction, ISO 8859/1] "The use of control functions, such as BACKSPACE or CARRIAGE RETURN for the coded representation of composite characters is porhibited by ISO 8859" -- [section 7: Specification of the coded character set, ISO 8859/1] Besides, the control characters, e.g. backspace, are not covered by 8859.
