E.161 is an ITU-T recommendation which defines the assignment of the basic 26 Latin letters (a to z) to the 12-key telephone keypad. ETSI ETS 300 640 and ISO 9995-8 also address this. Language-specific letters (e.g. ü, é, å, ä, ö) as well as other characters (e.g. ‘€’ or ‘@’) are not addressed and has led to a variety of inconsistent solutions for European languages.[1]
