Introduction
ISO/IEC 2022 uses the escape sequence to control the code extension procedures. The International Register
defined by ISO/IEC 2375 (previous edition of this document) provided the escape sequences and character sets.
Since no new escape sequences have been registered since 2004, and no new organization was found to
take over the registration authority as of 2020, ISO/IEC JTC1 / SC2 decided to replace ISO/IEC 2375 with
ISO/IEC TR 2375 (this document), which contains the data provided by the former registration authority, to
ensure interoperability with archival digital data encoded by ISO/IEC 2022. This document and electronic
attachments replace the International Register.

Introduction
This technical report is intended to preserve ISO/IEC 2022 uses the registered escape sequences, coded
character sets, and related information registered by ISO/IEC 2375. The contents insequence to control
the code extension procedures. The International Register were conformant todefined by ISO/IEC 2375
(previous edition of this document) provided the version of ISO/IEC 2375 in force at the time of
registration, and some information was different from the final version of ISO/IEC 2375.
Before the development of ISO/IEC 10646, ISO/IEC 2022 was used as a character code structure. ISO/IEC
2022 was a stateful encoding and uses escape sequences to specify the character set. The escape
sequences were expected to be defined for each subset, and a registration mechanism was specified to
maintain the escape sequences for ISO/IEC 2022. ISO/IEC 2375 was this registration procedure; ISO/IEC
2022 did not define the escape sequences by itself. ISO/IEC 2375 was not the International Register itself,
but the registration authority providing the information on the escape sequences, and the registered code
chart through the websiteand character sets.
Since no new escape sequences have been registered since 2004, and no new organization was found to
take over the registration authority as of 2020, ISO/IEC JTC1 / SC2 decided to replace ISO/IEC 2375 with
ISO/IEC TR 2375, (this document), which contains the data provided by the former registration authority,
to ensure interoperability with archival digital data encoded by ISO/IEC 2022. This document and

4.1 Purpose of the International Register
ISO/IEC 2022 uses the escape sequence (see ISO/IEC 2022, 4.13) to control the code extension
procedures. The International Register defined by ISO/IEC 2375 provided the character sets, escape
sequences, and related information. The International Register in this technical report takes over from
the former Registration Authority. Because the Registration Authority has been retired and the
International Register is archived, the registration procedure is unavailable.
The International Register provides the catalogue of the registered character set standards with their
registration numbers, the names of the character set standards, and their final bytes (for the
definitionsdefinition of the final bytes, see ISO/IEC 2022:1994, 4.14). The catalogue includes hyperlinks
to the electronic document for each registration, which is preserved i
