22、ween the interchange parties. NOTEAnnex A, together with Table A.1, provides information on alternative conversions which are in general use in some countries. 3.2 Conversion from ISO646 or ISO6937-2 to ITA2 The conversion of the characters of ISO646 or the characters of the primary set of ISO6937-2

23、 shall be as specified in Table 2. The non-spacing characters in the supplementary set of ISO6937-2 shall be removed from the character string; all other characters in the supplementary set shall be represented by the single character QUESTION MARK. The control characters of positions0/1,0/2,0/3,0/4

24、, 0/6,1/0,1/5,1/6,1/7 and7/15 are generally not converted because they are removed from the character string by the link control equipment or by convention. Characters for which there are no direct equivalents shall be represented by the single character, QUESTION MARK, unless prior agreement has be

25、en made between the interchange parties. NOTE 1The greater number of code combinations available in ISO646 or ISO6937-2 means that not every character can be translated unambiguously into a single ITA2 character. Use of a single character, rather than a multi-character representation will minimize f

34、 (informative) Alternative conversions between ISO646 and ITA2 A.1 This International Standard (see note to3.1 and note 2 to3.2) permits alternative conversions for characters which have no direct equivalents, provided these conversions are agreed between interchange parties. Other alternatives may

35、be used. A.2 Table A.1 and Table A.2 list conversions which are in use in some countries. A.3 In some nationally adapted applications of ITA2 and ISO646 specified conversion rules are required because national characters have been allocated in different order in the coded character sets concerned.
