There is no hole in ISO-8859-1 <-> Unicode mapping table provided by
unicode.org (see
http://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/ISO8859/8859-1.TXT). C0/C1
characters are mapped to C0/C1 characters. No undefined characters in
the table. And I believe that Java (at least Sun's implementation)
uses the same table.

Is it data for ICU4C? Interesting that it doesn't agree with the table
by unicode.org (see
http://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MICSFT/WINDOWS/CP1252.TXT).
Again Sun's java seems to use the above table. You can see it by
running a program below.

public class CharConversionTest
{
    static public void main(String[] args)
        throws Exception
    {
        byte[] str = new byte[256];
        for(int i = 0; i < str.length; i++)
        {
            str[i] = (byte)i;
        }

        String converted = new String(str, "Cp1252");
        for(int i = 0; i < converted.length(); i++)
        {
            System.out.println("0x" + Integer.toHexString(i) + " -> U+"
                               + Integer.toHexString(converted.charAt(i)));
        }
    }
}
