Specifies an 8-bit code derived from, and compatible with, the 7-bit coded character set specified in AS 1776. The characteristics of This code are also in conformance with the code extension techniques specified in AS 1953. This Standard specifies an 8-bit code with a number of options. It also provides guidance on how to exercise the options, to define specific versions. It is identical with, and has been reproduced from ISO 4873:1986.

This International Standard specifies an 8-bit code derived from, and compatible with, the 7-bit coded character set specified in ISO 646.The characteristics of this code are also in conformance with the code extension techniques specified in ISO 2022.This International Standard specifies an 8-bit code with a number of options. It also provides guidance on how to exercise the options to define specific versions.This character set is primarily intended for general information interchange within an 8-bit environment among data processing systems and associated equipment, and within data communication systems. The need for graphic characters and control functions in data processing has also been taken into account.This character set includes the 52 small and capital letters of the basic Latin alphabet and may include accented letters, special Latin letters and/or the letters of one or several non-Latin alphabet(s).
