ISO 8859:2001

Description

This part of ISO/IEC 8859 specifies a set of 183

coded graphic characters identified as Latin/Thai

alphabet.

This set of coded graphic characters is intended for

use in data and text processing applications and

also for information interchange.

The set contains graphic characters used for general

purpose applications in typical office environments in

at least the following languages:

Thai, English and Latin.

Some of the characters in this set are combining

characters (see clause 6).

This set of coded graphic characters may be

regarded as a version of an 8-bit code according to

ISO/IEC 2022 or ISO/IEC 4873 at level 1.

This part of ISO/IEC 8859 may not be used in

conjunction with any other parts of ISO/IEC 8859. If

coded characters from more than one part are to be

used together, by means of code extension

techniques, the equivalent coded character sets

from ISO/IEC 10367 or their corresponding G1 sets

from ?ISO International Register of Coded Character

Sets to be used with escape sequences’, should be

used instead within a version of ISO/IEC 4873 at

level 2 or level 3.

The coded characters in this set may be used in

conjunction with coded control functions selected

from ISO/IEC 6429. However, control functions are

not used to create composite graphic symbols from

two or more graphic characters (see clause 6).

NOTE ? ISO/IEC 8859 is not intended for use with

Telematic services defined by ITU-T. If information coded

according to ISO/IEC 8859 is to be transferred to such

services, it will have to conform to the requirements of

those services at the access-point.
