T.50 (standard)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 213.31.62.93 (talk) at 22:34, 25 October 2022 (→Character Set: RS& -> RS). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

ITU-T recommendation T.50 specifies the International Reference Alphabet (IRA), formerly International Alphabet No. 5 (IA5), a character encoding. ASCII is the U.S. variant of that character set.

The original version from November 1988 corresponds to ISO 646. The current version is from September 1992.

History

At the beginning was the International Telegraph Alphabet No. 2 (ITA2), a five bits code. IA5 is an improvement based on seven bits bytes.

Character Set

The following table shows the IA5 character set. Each character is shown with the hex code of its Unicode equivalent.

6x ` a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o
7x p q r s t u v w x y z { | } ~ DEL
  Undefined (showing the ASCII character that is at that location)
  A character that, in some regions, could be combined with a previous character as a diacritic using the backspace character, which may affect glyph choice.
