Italian (it) iso-8859-1
so iso-8859-1 is your answer.

I translated a web page into Italian language but some specific italian characters doesn't appear (e.g.: e`).

I put into the code:
- lang=it
- charset=iso-8859-1

What is usually coded in Italian pages where I can see all their specific characters.

But on my page the character "e`" is seen as ordinary "e".
What else should I do whith the coding?
