The lists of characters along with their code points used in oracle database character set WE8ISO8859P15 is defined in the http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/goglobal/cc305176.aspx.

Also, the lists of characters along with their code points used in oracle database character set WE8MSWIN1252 is defined in the http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/goglobal/cc305145.aspx.

If we look for WE8MSWIN1252 and WE8ISO8859P15 character set then 28 code points are not existed in WE8ISO8859P15 but they are used/filled in WE8MSWIN1252.

Also all of the characters exist in WE8ISO8859P15 are also exists in WE8MSWIN1252. So we can say WE8MSWIN1252 is a logical superset of character set WE8ISO8859P15 but not a binary superset.

Also we see 8 codepoints have a different symbol in WE8MSWIN1252 than in P15 for the same physical codepoint.
