+
+* `input` {string} The string to validate.
+* Returns: {boolean}
+
+This function returns `true` if `input` can be losslessly encoded using the
+Node.js [`'latin1'`][character encodings] encoding, including the case in
+which `input` is empty. That is, it returns `true` if every UTF-16 code unit
+of `input` is in the range `U+0000` to `U+00FF`. Such a string is also a valid
+[WebIDL `ByteString`][].
+
+This check uses the Node.js definition of `'latin1'`, in which each code unit
+from `U+0000` to `U+00FF` maps directly to the byte of the same value. It does
+not use the [WHATWG Encoding Standard][] definition, in which the `'latin1'`
+label is an alias for `windows-1252`. For example, `'\u0080'` is considered
+latin1 by this function, while `'€'` (`U+20AC`, which `windows-1252` encodes as
+`0x80`) is not.
+
+Unlike [`buffer.isAscii()`][] and [`buffer.isUtf8()`][], this function
+validates a string rather than a `Buffer`, `TypedArray`, or `ArrayBuffer`.
+Every byte sequence would trivially be valid `'latin1'`, since every byte maps
+to a code unit less than or equal to `0xFF`.

+import { isLatin1 } from 'node:buffer';

+isLatin1('café');    // true
+isLatin1('\u00ff');  // true
+isLatin1('\u0100');  // false
