The International Standard specifies rules for conversion between the 58 characters (including control functions) of the CCITT International Telegraph Alphabet No. 2 (CCITT Recommendation F.1) and the characters of the ISO 646 and ISO 6937-2 coded character sets.
This International Standard does not specify whether small or capital letters will be used to represent the alphabetic characters of ITA 2.
This International Standard is expected to facilitate interworking between, for example, the international telex service and terminals in data networks in cases where the telex character repertoire is sufficient.
