Abstract

This memo lists a selection of characters and their presence in some coded character sets. To facilitate the coded character set tabulations an unambiguous mnemonic for each character is used, and a format for tabulating the coded character sets is defined. The coded character sets are given names for easy reference. A family of coded character sets called the mnemonic character sets and conversion between these coded character set without information loss is defined.

The character set names are registered with the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). Additional character sets not described in this memo should be registered with the IANA. This memo may be updated periodically, or additional specifications may be published, to reflect other coded character sets.

Please send any comments including comments about the accuracy of the tables to the author, Keld Simonsen <Keld.Simonsen@dkuug.dk>.
