This area is controversial, but you might look at K. Simonsen,
``Character Mnemonics & Character Sets'', Internet RFC 1345 (June
1992).  It's not a standard, but it suggests mnemonics for a large
variety of character sets, including ISO Latin 1.  Here are the
two-character mnemonics that it suggests for the upper half of Latin 1,
in a similar format to that quoted above.
