It would be more precise to say that insofar as any C1 characters are
used at all, they are most often given the interpretation mandated by
ISO 6429. Strictly speaking, the ISO 8859 series does not specify
any C0 or C1 characters.

That mapping is not normative. The only normative mappings in Unicode
are between ideographic characters and the source character sets
specified in the Standard.
(This whole thing, or at least the last point, would be a fit entry
for the FAQ, I think.)
