	Universal Character Set - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		ISO set out to compose the universal character set in 1989, and published the draft of ISO 10646 in 1990.
		The ISO standardisers realised they could not continue to support the standard in its current state and negotatied the unification of their standard with Unicode.
		ISO 10646, a general, informal citation for the ISO/IEC 10646 family of standards, is acceptable in most prose.

	ISO-10646 Concept Dictionary
		ISO 10646 was accepted in June 1992, and is to be published in 1993.
		It would be very difficult to use 10646 as a file code because of ISO C requirements combined with the de facto standard size of a byte.
		The 10646 nomenclature refers to coded characters as multiples of octets and assumes taht octets are serialized, while the Unicode nomenclature rfefores to coded characters as indivisible 16 bit entitles.

	RFC 1815 (rfc1815) - Character Sets ISO-10646 and ISO-10646-J-1
		For the practical use of ISO 10646, a lot of external profiling such as restriction of characters, restriction of combination of characters and addition of language information is necessary.
		As the profiling of ISO 10646 largely affects which character or combination of characters could be properly displayed, changes of profiling of ISO 10646 are as significant as additions of new character sets of ISO 2022.
		The other problem of ISO 10646 for Han characters is that, to display them in quality required for daily plain text processing in China/Japan/Korea, it is necessary to add profiling information on which one of Chinese/Japanese/Korean the text is using.

	Zvon - RFC 1815 [Character Sets ISO-10646 and ISO-10646-J-1] - Introduction
		As ISO 10646 specifies too little about how text is visualized, to practically use ISO 10646, it is necessary to restrict the standard minimally and then add some amount of profiling information.
		For ISO 2022 [ISO2022] based national standards, sufficient profiling information is provided by national standardization bodies, but, for ISO 10646, such a profiling is not yet provided.
		That is, it's impractical to support the entirety of ISO 10646 (new restriction or profiling can always be added), so a client needs to know whether some restriction or profiling is being used before it can decide whether to display the body part.

	The fight about Unicode in IETF (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Proponents of ISO 10646 claim that it is an universal character set, capable of representing most graphic characters in the world, "and those we have forgotten will be in the next version".
		The main complaint about ISO 10646 is the so-called "Han unification", the decision to make the Japanese, Chinese and Korean character sets into one character set where the characters of the same "meaning" and general shape were joined together.
		ISO plans to allocate characters outside the 16-bit range in the next study period; it remains to be seen how and when the UNICODE consortium will follow.

	A tutorial on character code issues
		For example, in the ISO 10646 character code the numeric codes for "a", "!", "ä", and "‰" (per mille sign) are 97, 33, 228, and 8240.
		In one possible encoding for ISO 10646, the string a!ä‰ is presented as the following sequence of octets (using two octets for each character): 0, 97, 0, 33, 0, 228, 32, 48.
		The ISO 8859-1 standard (which is part of the ISO 8859 family of standards) defines a character repertoire identified as "Latin alphabet No. 1", commonly called "ISO Latin 1", as well as a character code for it.

		In ISO 10646, each character is assigned a number, which Unicode calls the Unicode scalar value.
		Here the CCS is Unicode/ISO 10646 and the CES is the same in all three cases, except for the serialization order of the octets in each character, and the external determination of which serialization is used.

	FAQ - Unicode and ISO 10646
		A: In 1991, the ISO Working Group responsible for ISO/IEC 10646 (JTC 1/SC 2/WG 2) and the Unicode Consortium decided to create one universal standard for coding multilingual text.
		Since then, the ISO 10646 Working Group (SC 2/WG 2) and the Unicode Consortium have worked together very closely to extend the standard and to keep their respective versions synchronized.
		ISO is planning to issue a consolidated standard, to be known simply as ISO/IEC 10646.

	Short overview of ISO/IEC 10646 and Unicode
		I also had the pleasure to take part in the big merger of Unicode and ISO/IEC 10646 that was accomplished at three meetings during 1991 in San Francisco, Geneva and Paris, representing Sweden on the ISO side.
		ISO/IEC 10646 is a relatively new character set standard, published in 1993 by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
		In short, Unicode can be characterized as the (restricted) 2-octet form of UCS on (the most general) implementation level 3, with addition of a more precise specification of the bi-directional behavior of characters, when used in the Arabic and Hebrew scripts.

	SC4 Activities - National Information Standards Organization (NISO)
		The U.S. objections centered primarily on changes made to character names to align them with ISO 10646 naming conventions, and new fonts having been used for the character tables.
		Although the U.S. did not oppose, in principle, the idea of including mappings to ISO/IEC 10646, they were concerned that these mappings had not been reviewed by groups such as JTC 1/SC 2 or the Unicode Technical Committee (UTC).
		The U.S. recommended, in its disapproval of these registrations, that ISO 2375 (the standard that specifies how character sets are registered), be revised to include a review process to validate aspects such as proposed mappings to other ISO standards.

	Character Sets: UCS/Unicode Environment (Library of Congress) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The restrictions in these specifications are intended to optimize the interchange of data encoded using the MARC-8 character sets and UCS/Unicode during the period of transition from a largely 8-bit environment to the 16-bit UCS/Unicode environment.
		Since MARC-8 and ISO 2022 (Character code structure and extension techniques) allow character sets to be designated as either G0 or G1 sets, the configuration of field 066 subfields and the script codes these subfields contain will depend on the desired assignment of MARC-8 sets to a particular graphic character value range.
		Subfield $6 (Linkage) is used in MARC 21 records to link alternate graphic representations of the same data, to identify the presence of specific scripts in a field, and to flag fields in which the display/print directionality of data is right-to-left (e.g., for Arabic script).

	Mapping Sinhala between ISO 10646 and SLS 1134
		Since Sinhala will be encoded according the the Brahmic harmonization in ISO/IEC 10646, it is important that mappings between UCS Sinhala and 7- and 8-bit Sinhala be made, so that roundtrip integrity in text transfer for data encoded in the two standards can be achieved.
		This paper is a contribution toward a mapping for data encoded in ISO/IEC 10646 and data encoded in SLS 1134.
		It is true that binary sorting is easy to achieve in 7-bit and 8-bit code tables by following the hexadecimal values of the characters and so their arrangement is of relevance in such codings (it is also true that correct sorting can be achieved in other ways in 7-bits and 8-bits).

	RFC 2044 - UTF-8, a transformation format of Unicode and ISO 10646
		ISO 10646 further defines a 31-bit character set, UCS-4, with currently no assignments outside of the region corresponding to UCS-2 (the Basic Multilingual Plane, BMP).
		UTF-8 encodes UCS-2 or UCS-4 characters as a varying number of octets, where the number of octets, and the value of each, depend on the integer value assigned to the character in ISO 10646.
		This string would label media types containing text consisting of characters from the repertoire of ISO 10646-1 encoded to a sequence of octets using the encoding scheme outlined above.

		The ISO 10646 standard on the other hand is not much more than a simple character set table, comparable to the old ISO 8859 standards.
		ISO 10646 was from the beginning designed as a 31-bit character set (with possible code positions ranging from U-00000000 to U-7FFFFFFF), however it took until 2001 for the first characters to be assigned beyond the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP), that is beyond the first 2
		The ISO 10646 working group has agreed to modify their standard to exclude code positions beyond U-0010FFFF, in order to turn the new UCS-4 and UTF-32 into practically the same thing.
