16、8859 are for information only.iv blankBSISO/IEC8859-9:1999 BSI 02-2000 1 Introduction ISO/IEC 8859 consists of several parts. Each part specifies a set of up to191 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
17、particular group of languages. 1 Scope This part of ISO/IEC8859 specifies a set of191 coded graphic characters identified as Latin alphabet No.5. This set of coded graphic characters is intended for use in data and text processing applications and also for information interchange. The set contains g
18、raphic characters used for general purpose applications in typical office environments in at least the following languages: Albanian, Basque, Breton, Catalan, Danish, Dutch, English, Faroese, Finnish, French (with restrictions, seeAnnexA.1, Notes), Frisian, Galician, German, Greenlandic, Irish Gaeli
19、c (new orthography), Italian, Latin, Luxemburgish, Norwegian, Portuguese, Rhaeto-Romanic, Scottish Gaelic, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish. This set of coded graphic characters may be regarded as a version of an 8-bit code according to ISO/IEC2022 or ISO/IEC4873 at level1. This part of ISO/IEC8859 may
20、not be used in conjunction with any other parts of ISO/IEC8859. 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/IEC10367 should be used instead within a version of ISO/IEC4873 at level2 or level3
21、. The coded characters in this set may be used in conjunction with coded control functions selected from ISO/IEC6429. However, control functions are not used to create composite graphic symbols from two or more graphic characters (see clause6). NOTEISO/IEC8859 is not intended for use with Telematic
22、services defined by ITU-T. If information coded according to ISO/IEC8859 is to be transferred to such services, 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-data-element (CC-data-element)
23、 within coded information for interchange is in conformance with this part of ISO/IEC8859 if all the coded representations of graphic characters within that CC-data-element conform to the requirements of clause6. 2.2 Conformance of devices A device is in conformance with this part of ISO/IEC8859 if
24、it conforms to the requirements of2.2.1, and either or both of2.2.2 and2.2.3. Aclaim of conformance shall identify the document which contains the description specified in2.2.1. 2.2.1 Device description A device that conforms to this part of ISO/IEC8859 shall be the subject of a description that ide
25、ntifies 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 in2.2.2 and2.2.3. 2.2.2 Originating devices An originating device shall allow its user to supply any sequence of characters from those specifi
26、ed in clause6, 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 clause6,
27、and shall make the corresponding characters available to its user in such a way that the user can identify them from among those specified there, and can distinguish them from each other. 3 Normative references The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constit

BSISO/IEC8859-9:1999 2 BSI 02-2000 4 Definitions For the purposes of this part of ISO/IEC8859 the following definitions apply. 4.1 bit combination an ordered set
31、 of bits used for the representation of characters 4.2 byte a bit string that is operated upon as a unit 4.3 character a member of a set of elements used for the organization, control, or representation of data 4.4 code table a table showing the characters allocated to each bit combination in a code
32、 4.5 coded character set; code a set of unambiguous rules that establishes a character set and the one-to-one relationship between the characters of the set and their bit combinations 4.6 coded-character-data-element (CC-data-element) an element of interchanged information that is specified to consi
33、st of a sequence of coded representations of characters, in accordance with one or more identified standards for coded character sets 4.7 graphic character a character, other than a control function, that has a visual representation normally handwritten, printed or displayed, and that has a coded re
34、presentation consisting of one or more bit combinations NOTEIn ISO/IEC8859 a single bit combination is used to represent each character. 4.8 graphic symbol a visual representation of a graphic character or of a control function 4.9 position that part of a code table identified by its column and row
35、coordinates 5 Notation, code table and names 5.1 Notation The bits of the bit combinations of the 8-bit code are identified by b 8 , b 7 , b 6 , b 5 , b 4 , b 3 , b 2 , and b 1 , where b 8is the highest-order, or most-significant bit and b 1is the lowest-order, or least-significant bit. The bit comb
36、inations may be interpreted to represent numbers in binary notation by attributing the following weights to the individual bits: Using these weights, the bit combinations are identified by notations of the form xx/yy, where xx and yy are numbers in the range 00to15. The correspondence between the no
37、tations of the form xx/yy and the bit combinations consisting of the bits b 8to b 1is as follows: xx is the number represented by b 8 , b 7 , b 6and b 5where these bits are given the weights8,4,2, and1 respectively. yy is the number represented by b 4 , b 3 , b 2and b 1where these bits are given the
38、 weights8,4,2, and1 respectively. The bit combinations are also identified by notations of the form hk, where h and k are numbers in the range0 toF in hexadecimal notation. The number h is the same as the number xx described above, and the numberk the same as the number yy described above. 5.2 Layou
39、t of the code table An 8-bit code table consists of256 positions arranged in16 columns and16 rows. The columns and the rows are numbered00 to15. In hexadecimal notation the columns and the rows are numbered0 toF. The code table positions are identified by notations of the form xx/yy, where xx is the
40、 column number and yy is the row number. The column and row numbers are shown at the top and left edges of the table respectively. The code table positions are also identified by notations of the form hk, where h is the column number and k is the row number in hexadecimal notation. The column and ro
41、w numbers are shown at the bottom and right edges of the table respectively. The positions of the code table are in one-to-one correspondence with the bit combinations of the code. The notation of a code table position, of the form xx/yy, or of the form hk, is the same as that of the corresponding b
42、it combination.

These names and identifiers have been taken from ISO/IEC10646-1 (
43、E). This part of ISO/IEC8859 also specifies an acronym for each of the characters SPACE, NO-BREAK SPACE and SOFT HYPHEN. For acronyms only Latin capital letters A to Z are used. It is intended that the acronyms be retained in all translations of the text. Except for SPACE (SP), NO-BREAK SPACE (NBSP)
44、 and SOFT HYPHEN (SHY), this part of ISO/IEC8859 does not define and does not restrict the meanings of graphic characters. This part of ISO/IEC8859 specifies a graphic symbol for each graphic character. This symbol is shown in the corresponding position of the code table. However, this part, or any
45、other part, of ISO/IEC8859 does not specify a particular style or font design for imaging graphic characters. Annex B of ISO/IEC10367 gives further information on this subject. 5.3.1 SPACE (SP) A graphic character the visual representation of which consists of the absence of a graphic symbol. 5.3.2
46、NO-BREAK SPACE (NBSP) A graphic character the visual representation of which consists of the absence of a graphic symbol, for use when a line break is to be prevented in the text as presented. 5.3.3 SOFT HYPHEN (SHY) A graphic character that is imaged by a graphic symbol identical with, or similar t
47、o, that representing HYPHEN, for use when a line break has been established within a word. 6 Specification of the coded character set This part of ISO/IEC8859 specifies 191 characters allocated to the bit combinations of the code table (Table 2). None of these characters are combining characters. NO
48、TECombining characters are described in ISO/IEC2022:1994 subclause 6.3.3. Control functions, such as BACKSPACE or CARRIAGE RETURN, shall not be used to create composite graphic symbols, which are made up from the graphic representations of two or more characters. 6.1 Characters of the set and their
