If you're on the console, make sure that an ISO 8859-1 font is loaded.
/etc/rc.conf:
font8x16="iso-8x16"
Also see vidcontrol(1) for how to load fonts manually.
Your default xterm font probably is already a ISO 8859-1 one.
Now you can simply print out a table, say, like
$ perl -e 'for$i(0xA0..0xFF){printf"%3d=%c%c",$i,$i,($i%8==7)?10:32}'
160= 161=¡ 162=¢ 163=£ 164=¤ 165=¥ 166=¦ 167=§
168=¨ 169=© 170=ª 171=« 172=¬ 173= 174=® 175=¯
176=° 177=± 178=² 179=³ 180=´ 181=µ 182=¶ 183=·
184=¸ 185=¹ 186=º 187=» 188=¼ 189=½ 190=¾ 191=¿
192=À 193=Á 194=Â 195=Ã 196=Ä 197=Å 198=Æ 199=Ç
200=È 201=É 202=Ê 203=Ë 204=Ì 205=Í 206=Î 207=Ï
208=Ð 209=Ñ 210=Ò 211=Ó 212=Ô 213=Õ 214=Ö 215=×
216=Ø 217=Ù 218=Ú 219=Û 220=Ü 221=Ý 222=Þ 223=ß
224=à 225=á 226=â 227=ã 228=ä 229=å 230=æ 231=ç
232=è 233=é 234=ê 235=ë 236=ì 237=í 238=î 239=ï
240=ð 241=ñ 242=ò 243=ó 244=ô 245=õ 246=ö 247=÷
248=ø 249=ù 250=ú 251=û 252=ü 253=ý 254=þ 255=ÿ
(ISO 8859-x fonts don't have any printable characters in positions
0x80..0x9F).

The syscons and X11 keyboard tables are entirely independant, both
in capabilities and actual layout.
