Information and documentation -- Extension of the Latin alphabet coded character set for bibliographic information interchange -- Part 2: Latin characters used in minor European languages and obsolete typography

Specifies a set of 70 graphic characters. Consists of a code table and a legend with explanatory notes containing each graphic, its use and its name. The character set is primarily intended for the interchange of information among data processing systems and within message transmission systems. These characters form a supplement to the extended Latin alphabet coded character set.

IS0 5426-2: 1996(E)
Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work of
preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for
which a technical committee has been established has the right to be
represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. IS0
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission
(I EC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technicai committees are
circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an international
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting
a vote.
International Standard IS0 5426-2 was prepared by Technical Committee
ISO/TC 46, Information and documentation, Subcommittee SC 4,
Computer applications in information and documentation.
IS0 5426 consists of the following parts, under the general title
lnforma tion and documentation - Extension of the Latin alphabet coded
character set for bibliographic information interchange:
- Part 1: (currently published as IS0 5426:1983)
- Part 2: Latin characters used in minor European languages and
obsolete typography

Part 2:
Latin characters used in minor European languages and obsolete
typography
1 Scope
1.1 This part of IS0 5426 specifies a set of 70 graphic characters with their coded representations intended
primarily for the interchange of information among data processing systems and within message transmission
systems. It consists of a code table and a legend showing each graphic, its use and its name.
1.2 These characters form a supplement to the extended Latin alphabet coded character set for bibliographic use
(IS0 5426) in that they cover certain less common and obsolete languages that use the Latin script and obsolete
printing conventions.
1.3 This character set, in conjunction with characters from lSO/IEC 646 and IS0 5426, is intended to handle
information in the following languages: Anglo-Saxon; Greenlandic; Lappish; Latin; Latvian (older forms); Maltese.
It is also intended to cover printing conventions associated with older books, in particular, marks associated with
binding signatures.
2 Normative references
The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this part
of IS0 5426. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All standards are subject to revision, and
parties to agreements based on this part of IS0 5426 are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the
most recent editions of the standards indicated below. Members of IEC and IS0 maintain registers of currently
valid International Standards.

3 Implementation
3.1 The implementation of this coded character set in physical media and for transmission, taking into account
the need for error checking, is the subject of other International Standards (see annex A).
