S-hacek, along with directional quotation marks, are part of the Windows
additions to the Latin-1 character set (ISO 8859-1), so non-Windows systems
will not see them correctly. They should be avoided on Web pages and
in email. The full list of Windows-specific characters with their
Unicode equivalents is:
0x80 0x20AC #EURO SIGN
0x82 0x201A #SINGLE LOW-9 QUOTATION MARK
0x83 0x0192 #LATIN SMALL LETTER F WITH HOOK
0x84 0x201E #DOUBLE LOW-9 QUOTATION MARK
0x85 0x2026 #HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS
0x86 0x2020 #DAGGER
0x87 0x2021 #DOUBLE DAGGER
0x88 0x02C6 #MODIFIER LETTER CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT
0x89 0x2030 #PER MILLE SIGN
0x8A 0x0160 #LATIN CAPITAL LETTER S WITH CARON
0x8B 0x2039 #SINGLE LEFT-POINTING ANGLE QUOTATION MARK
0x8C 0x0152 #LATIN CAPITAL LIGATURE OE
0x8E 0x017D #LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Z WITH CARON
0x91 0x2018 #LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK
0x92 0x2019 #RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK
0x93 0x201C #LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK
0x94 0x201D #RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK
0x95 0x2022 #BULLET
0x96 0x2013 #EN DASH
0x97 0x2014 #EM DASH
0x98 0x02DC #SMALL TILDE
0x99 0x2122 #TRADE MARK SIGN
0x9A 0x0161 #LATIN SMALL LETTER S WITH CARON
0x9B 0x203A #SINGLE RIGHT-POINTING ANGLE QUOTATION MARK
0x9C 0x0153 #LATIN SMALL LIGATURE OE
0x9E 0x017E #LATIN SMALL LETTER Z WITH CARON
0x9F 0x0178 #LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Y WITH DIAERESIS
Note that CARON is standards-speak for "hacek", but nobody knows why.
