ISO IEC 8859-5:1999 pdf download – lnformation technology -8-bit single-bytecoded graphic character sets — Part 5: Latin/Cyrillic alphabet.
This part of ISO/fEC 8859 specifies a set of 191
coded graphic characters identified as the Latin)
Cyrillic 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:
Bulgarian. Byelorussian. English. Latin, (Slavic) Macedonian, Russian, Serbian and Ukrainian.
NOTE — Two letters recently added to the Ukrainian official alphabet are not included in the character set of this part. For a background the CENCENELEC?PTOO4 Report may be consulted (in Bibliography).
This set of coded graphic characters may be regarded as a version of an 8-bit code according to ISO/IEC 2022 or ISOIEC 4873 at level 1.
This part of lSO/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 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/fEC 6429. However, control functions are not used to create composite graphic symbols from two or more graphic characters (see clause 6).
NOTE — ISOIEC 8859 i not intended for use with Telemahc services defined by ITU-T. If information coded according to ISOIEC 8859 is to be transferred to Such servces, it will have to conform to the requirements of those services at the access-point.
2 Conformance
2.1 Conformance of InformatIon Interchange A coded•character•dataelement (CC.data.element) within coded information for interchange is in conformance with this part of ISOIEC 8859 if all the coded representations of graphic characters within that CC•data-element conform to the requirements of clause 6.
2.2 Conformance of devices
A device is in conformance with this part of ISOIIEC 8859 it it conforms to the requirements of 2.2.1, and either or both of 2.2.2 and 2.2.3. A claim of conformance shall identity the document which contains the description specified in 2.2.1.
2.2.1 DevIce description
A device that conforms to this part of ISO/IEC 8859 shall be the subject of a description that identifies the means by which the user may supply characters to the device, or may recognize them when they are made available to him, as specified respectively in 2.2.2 and 2.2.3.
2.2.2 Originating devices
An originating device shall allow its user to supp4y any sequence of characters from those specified in clause 6, and shall be capable of transmitting their coded representations within a CC-data-element,
2.2.3 Receiving devices
A receiving device shall be capable of receiving and interpreting any coded representations of characters that are within a CC-data-element, and that conform to clause 6, and shall make the corresponding characters available to its user in such a way that the user can Identify them from among those sOecified there, and can distinguish them from each other.
