Since January 1996, the SCA Ordinary database (oanda.db) has begun to encode non-ASCII symbols in names and blazons. The encoding is mostly complete for items registered since July 1983, but only sporadic before that date. In other words, about 80% of the database has been revised.
When a Latin-1 encoding exists, the non-ASCII symbol is encoded in accordance with that standard. The resulting code is an 8-bit byte with the most-significant bit set to 1, as detailed in the table below. (Unfortunately, these 8-bit codes are NOT compatible with the "437" code page normally active on PCs running MS-DOS in the United States.)
The columns in the table are as follows:

Twenty-four of the rarer symbols do not have Latin-1 encodings. In the database, these symbols have been reduced to the nearest ASCII equivalent:
