CSA CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC 8859-4:02

Abstract

This part of lSO/IEC 8859 specifies a set of 191 coded graphic characters identified as Latin alphabet No. 4. <br>This set of coded graphic characters is intended for use in data and text processing applications and also for information interchange. <br>The set contains graphic characters used for general purpose applications in typical office environments in at least the following languages: <br>Danish, English, Estonian, Finnish, German, Greenlandic, Latin, Latvian, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Sami (but see Annex A.1, Notes), Slovene and Swedish. <br>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. <br>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 should be used instead within a version of ISO/IEC 4873 at level 2 or level 3. <br>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). <br><strong>NOTE</strong> - ISOAEC 8859 is not intended for use with Telematic services defined by ITU-T. If information coded according to ISOAEC 8859 is to be transferred to such services, it will have to conform to the requirements of those services at the access-point.
