3、O 646) in 1965 as the agreed international 7-bit code for informationinterchange has led to the development of many national, international and application-oriented versions of this codewhich have been in wide use for quite some time.These versions had a number of limitations generally inherent to t

4、he size of the code: they did not provide all graphic characters which may be needed, for some characters, specially for accented letters, it was necessary to resort to BACKSPACE sequences, whichcreated problems when processing data containing such composite characters, interchange among different v

5、ersions was practically limited to the 82 common graphic characters.With the advent of 8-bit coding it was possible to increase the number of graphic characters. ISO 6937/2, forexample, provided a character set covering the requirements of most languages based on the Latin alphabet. Thischaracter se

6、t, although well suited for text communication, was difficult to use for processing as some graphiccharacters were represented by one and others by two bit combinations. Thus, the need was recognized for codedgraphic character sets, each of which: is the same for all users of a given area, provides

7、single-byte coding of all graphic characters thus permitting easy processing, takes into account character sets used in the industry.Since 1982 the urgency of the need for an 8-bit single-byte coded character set was recognized in ECMA as well as inANSI/X3L2 and numerous working papers were exchange

8、d between the two groups. In February 1984 ECMA TC1submitted to ISO/TC97/SC2 (which has become ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC2 in 1987) a proposal for such a coded characterset. At its meeting of April 1984 SC2 decided to propose a new item of work for this topic. Technical discussionsduring and after this meetin

9、g led TC1 to adopt the coding scheme proposed by X3L2. International Standard ISO/IEC8859-1 is based on this joint ANSI/ECMA proposal. ECMA published its corresponding Standard ECMA-94 inMarch 1985.After this first publication, the work of ECMA TC1 on further coded graphic character sets has led to

10、the followingresults:i. The second edition of Standard ECMA-94 comprising four coded graphic character sets for the Latin script,identified as Latin Alphabets No. 1 to No. 4. These alphabets have a number of characters in common, inparticular those allocated to columns 02 to 07. These four Latin Alp

11、habets have been submitted to ISO/IEC JTC 1and have become Parts 1 to 4 of ISO/IEC 8859.ii. A series of ECMA Standards for coded graphic character sets comprising those characters of the Latin Alphabetsallocated to columns 02 to 07 and characters of another script for multiple-language applications.

12、 These ECMAStandards cover the Cyrillic, Greek and Hebrew scripts. These ECMA Standards ECMA-113, ECMA-118 andECMA-121, resp., have become Parts 5, 7 and 8, resp., of ISO/IEC 8859.iii. Standard ECMA-114 for a Latin/Arabic coded graphic character set. In developing this ECMA Standard TC1closely co-op

13、erated with the relevant groups and committees of ASMO, the Arab Organization forStandardization and Metrology, of ATU, the Arab Telecommunication Union, and of different Arabic countries.The 2ndEdition of ECMA-114 has been developed to keep it fully aligned with the new edition of ISO/IEC 8859-6.iv

14、. Latin Alphabets No. 5 and No. 6 have been published as ECMA-128 and ECMA-144, resp. They have becomeParts 9 and 10, resp., of ISO/IEC 8859.The 3rdEdition of ECMA-144 has been developed to keep it fully aligned with the new edition of ISO/IEC 8859-10.This ECMA Standard has been adopted as 3rdEditio

35、table identified by its column and row co-ordinates.5 Notation, code table and names5.1 NotationThe bits of the bit combinations of the 8-bit code are identified by b8, b7, b6, b5, b4, b3, b2and b1, where b8is the highest-order, or most-significant bit and b1is the lowest-order, or least-significant

36、 bit.The bit combinations may be interpreted to represent numbers in binary notation by attributing thefollowing weights to the individual bits:Bit b8b7b6b5b4b3b2b1Weight 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1- 3 -Using these weights, the bit combinations are identified by notations of the form xx/yy, where xx and yy

37、are numbers in the range 00 to 15. The correspondence between the notations of the form xx/yy and the bitcombinations consisting of the bits b8to b1is as follows: xx is the number represented by b8, b7, b6and b5where these bits are given the weights 8, 4, 2, and 1,respectively. yy is the number repr

38、esented by b4, b3, b2and b1where these bits are given the weights 8, 4, 2, and 1,respectively.The bit combinations are also identified by notations of the form hk, where h and k are numbers in therange 0 to F in hexadecimal notation. The number h is the same as the number xx described above, and the

39、number k the same as the number yy described above.5.2 Layout of the code tableAn 8-bit code table consists of 256 positions arranged in 16 columns and 16 rows. The columns and therows are numbered 00 to 15. In hexadecimal notation the columns and the rows are numbered 0 to F.The code table position

40、s are identified by notations of the form xx/yy, where xx is the column number andyy is the row number. The column and row numbers are shown at the top and left edges of the table,respectively. The code table positions are also identified by notations of the form hk, where h is the columnnumber and

41、k is the row number in hexadecimal notation. The column and row numbers are shown at thebottom and right edges of the table, respectively.The positions of the code table are in one-to-one correspondence with the bit combinations of the code. Thenotation of a code table position, of the form xx/yy, o

42、r of the form hk, is the same as that of thecorresponding bit combination.5.3 Names and meanings.This ECMA Standard assigns a unique name and a unique identifier to each graphic character. These namesand identifiers have been taken from ISO/IEC 10646-1. This ECMA Standard also specifies an acronym f

43、oreach of the characters SPACE, NO-BREAK SPACE, and SOFT HYPHEN. For acronyms only Latin capitalletters A to Z are used. It is intended that the acronyms be retained in all translations of the text.Except for SPACE (SP), NO-BREAK SPACE (NBSP), and SOFT HYPHEN (SHY), this ECMA Standarddoes not define

44、 and does not restrict the meanings of graphic characters.This ECMA Standard specifies a graphic symbol for each graphic character. This symbol is shown in thecorresponding position of the code table. However, this Standard does not specify a particular style or fontdesign for imaging graphic charac

46、xt as presented.5.3.3 SOFT HYPHEN (SHY)A graphic character that is imaged by a graphic symbol identical with, or similar to, that representingHYPHEN, for use when a line break has been established within a word.6 Specification of the coded character setThis ECMA Standard specifies 191 characters all

47、ocated to the bit combinations of the code table (table 2).Non of these characters are combining characters.NOTECombining characters are described in ECMA-35, 6.3.3.Control functions, such as BACKSPACE or CARRIAGE RETURN, shall not be used to create compositegraphic symbols, which are made up from t
