ISO/IEC 8859-2:1999 情報技術  —  8ビットのシングルバイトコード化グラフィック文字セット  —  パート2：ラテンアルファベットNo. 2 | ページ 2

Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and nongovernmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work.

In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC1. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote.

International Standard ISO/IEC 8859-2 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, Subcommittee SC 2, Coded character sets.

This edition cancels and replaces ISO 8859-2:1987 which has been technically revised.

ISO/IEC 8859 consists of the following parts, under the general title Information technology — 8-bit single-byte coded graphic character sets:

• Part 1: Latin alphabet No. 1
• Part 2: Latin alphabet No. 2
• Part 3: Latin alphabet No. 3
• Part 4: Latin alphabet No. 4
• Part 5: Latin/Cyrillic alphabet
• Part 6: Latin/Arabic alphabet
• Part 7: Latin/Greek alphabet
• Part 8: Latin/Hebrew alphabet
• Part 9: Latin alphabet No. 5
• Part 10: Latin alphabet No. 6

Annexes A to C of this part of ISO/IEC 8859 are for information only.

Introduction

ISO/IEC 8859 consists of several parts. Each part specifies a set of up to 191 graphic characters and the coded representation of these characters by means of a single 8-bit byte. Each set is intended for use for a particular group of languages.

1 Scope

This part of ISO/IEC 8859 specifies a set of 191 coded graphic characters identified as Latin alphabet No. 2.

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:

Albanian, Croat, Czech, English, German, Hungarian, Latin, Polish, Romanian, Slovak, Slovene and Sorbian.

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 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).
