Indeed, latin9 (ISO 8859-15) does have ž and Ž:
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8859-15#ISO_8859-15_vs._-1_vs._Windows-1252_vs._Unicode

So your above paragraph is almost correct, except it’s not “HTML”
but “Unicode U+017D” is to be rendered as latin9 0xB4.

However, src/chrtrans/iso15_uni.tbl does have this correct.

I highly suspect your original page is encoded wrongly.
Can you send a link to it?
