22、of ISO 9995 defines the allocation on a keyboard of a set of graphic characters which, when used in combination with an existing national version keyboard layout, allows the input of a minimum character repertoire as defined herein. This repertoire is intended to address all characters needed to wri
23、te all contemporary languages using the Latin script, together with standardized Latin transliterations of some major languages using other scripts. It also contains all symbols and punctuation marks contained in ISO 8859-1, together with some selected other ones commonly used in typography and offi
24、ce use. It also addresses characters of some other scripts (Greek, Cyrillic, Armenian, Georgian, Hebrew) to the same extent (in the case of Cyrillic, leaving out some minority languages of the Russian Federation which have only a few hundred speakers left). It provides means to include other scripts
25、 (e.g. Arabic, Devanagari) in future versions of this part of ISO 9995 (e.g. by amendments). Furthermore, it addresses the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). This part of ISO 9995 is primarily intended for word-processing and text-processing applications, to be used with full-sized keyboards as
26、well as with miniature keyboards found on mobile devices (“smartphones“ or handheld computers), especially ones which have only keys for the 26 basic Latin letters but no dedicated keys for digits. 2 Conformance The layout of a keyboard conforms to this part of ISO 9995 if it meets all of the follow
27、ing conditions: It is either a Latin keyboard, or a Latin-conformant keyboard, as defined in Clause 3. It is either a compact keyboard, or a full keyboard, as defined in Clause 3. There is a special function called “Superselect“, which, when (according to the layout) either operated (i.e. pressed if
28、 it is a key) together with any A to Z key, or followed by the actuation of any A to Z key, performs the function according to Tables 1 and 2 in Clause 5. NOTE 1 The “Superselect“ can be a single dedicated key, or a special sequence of other keys to be input. EXAMPLE The “Superselect“ can be a “symb
29、ol key“ to be pressed together with a “shift key“. Furthermore, the software driving the keyboard shall fulfil the following requirements to make the keyboard conform to this part of ISO 9995: The keyboard is intended to output valid ISO/IEC 10646 characters and valid sequences thereof. Any of the g
30、roups contained in Tables 1 and 2 in Clause 5 and specified in the subsequent text are contained in the layout, unless they are marked as optional in these tables. The groups may contain BS ISO/IEC 9995-9:2016 ISO/IEC 9995-9:2016(E) 2 ISO/IEC 2016 All rights reserved additional characters associated
31、 with other keys than in the tables as long as any listed pairing of D-Groups and L-Groups is unaffected. NOTE 2 It is not specified in this part of 9995 which characters or symbols are in fact to be engraved on the keyboard. Any statement of conformance to this part of ISO 9995 shall be taken to im
32、ply that the complete character repertoire of the IPA table in Annex C and of all groups listed in Clause 5 has been implemented, with the exception that group YY (compatibility characters and symbols), which may be implemented only partially or not at all. Such statements of conformance may be made
33、 for fonts. If such a statement of conformance for a font is made in connection with one or more of the terms: “Latin“, “Greek“, “Cyrillic“, “Armenian“, “Georgian“, “Hebrew“, “Arabic“, “Korean“, “IPA“, this shall be taken to imply that the character repertoire(s) listed in Annex D under the correspo
34、ndingly named headers D.2.2 to D.2.10 has/have to be supplied by the font, and, as long as any of the listed terms except “IPA“ is applied, this shall be taken to imply that also the character repertoire listed there under D.2.1 “Digits, punctuation and symbols“ has to be supplied by the font. In no
35、 case is there an implication whether the character repertoire listed under D.2.1 “Compatibility characters and symbols“ is supplied completely, partially or not at all by the font. 3 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and a
