9、nization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been establis
10、hed has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization

In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with th

15、 document is ISO/TC 130, Graphic technology.This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 5776:1983), which has been technically revised to allow the text proof-correction symbols to be used with texts in any orthography, to add new symbols, to identify symbols for use in logograph
16、ic languages, and to illustrate the use of symbols in several languages.iv ISO 2016 All rights reservedBS ISO 5776:2016ISO 5776:2016(E)IntroductionThese text proof-correction symbols have been designed to be used with texts in any orthography; hence they are not language-specific (Annex B and Annex
17、C show how the symbols are used in logographic languages). Some of the symbols have been used in the form shown here in a number of countries for many years and some are recent additions. The newer symbols have been suggested by professional proofreaders who may have been using them for many years.
18、It is in the industrys interests to standardize the symbols. Symbols take up less space in margins than the words or abbreviations needed to give the same instruction. Standard symbols enable editors, typesetters, and proofreaders to communicate clearly even when they do not work in the same languag
19、e.The symbol for a capital letter has been used internationally for a long time, but the symbol to change a capital to lower case is more recent. Proofreaders used to need two symbols to indicate bold italics and two to remove bold italics, but now there is one symbol for each. The symbol for a soli
20、dus used in expressions such as “and/or” and in dates has been devised to differentiate it from the symbol used after a change to existing characters, spacing, or styles.The new standard also includes symbols to raise figures from the baseline to the superior position: cm2, to move characters down t
21、o the baseline from the superior position: 1st, and to move characters down from the baseline to the inferior position: CO2.In a completely electronic workflow, proofreaders can use an electronic version of the symbols to correct proofs delivered as PDFs.

22、16BS ISO 5776:2016Graphic technology Symbols for text proof correction1 ScopeThis International Standard specifies symbols for use in copy preparation and proof correction in alphabetic languages and in logographic languages. It is applicable to texts submitted for correction, whatever their nature
23、or presentation (manuscripts, typescripts, printers proofs, etc.), and for marking up copy for all methods of composition.Symbols for the correction of mathematical texts and colour illustrations are not included.2 Terms and definitionsFor the purposes of this document, the following terms and defin
24、itions apply.2.1alphabetic languagelanguage, the written form of which is based on letters or symbols used to represent speech soundsNote 1 to entry: Like most European languages, Arabic, or Hebrew.2.2bold typetypeface (2.14) that is heavier than the normal weight2.3em spacewidth of a capital letter
25、 M in a given size and typeface (2.14)2.4en spacewidth measuring exactly half the width of a capital letter M in a given size and typeface (2.14)2.5fontcomplete collection of characters in one typeface (2.14) and sizeNote 1 to entry: In the UK, this is traditionally spelled “fount”.2.6italic typetyp
26、eface (2.14) in which the characters slope forward as distinct from roman or upright characters and numerals2.7justified paragraphparagraph with even left- and right-hand marginsNote 1 to entry: The space between characters and/or words is varied to achieve this.2.8left-justified paragraphparagraph

28、ese and Japanese are examples of logographic languages.2.10right-justified paragraphparagraph with an even right-hand margin leaving the left-hand margin ragged2.11roman typetypeface (2.14) in which the characters are upright as opposed to italic (2.6)Note 1 to entry: This is normally the style of s
29、tandard characters of a font (2.5).2.12thick spacespace equal to one third of an em space (2.3)2.13thin spacespace equal to one fifth of an em space (2.3)2.14typefacespecific type designNote 1 to entry: A typeface is usually produced in a range of sizes fonts (2.5) each including roman (2.11), bold
30、(2.2), and italic (2.6).2.15unjustified paragraphparagraph with ragged margins left, right, or bothNote 1 to entry: Such a paragraph is achieved by eliminating any extra spacing used to justify text.3 Symbols for proof correction3.1 Alphabetic languagesTable 1 specifies the symbols for use with all
31、alphabetic languages as the symbols are not language-specific.NOTE 1 The symbols are grouped according to general function and are numbered consecutively within their groups in the first column.To indicate the instruction specified in the second column, the mark used in the text shall be as specifie
32、d in the third column and the corresponding symbol used in the margin shall be as specified in the fourth column. The text and margin marks in the third and fourth columns shall be applied as shown in the fifth column. The placement of the marginal marks on the right or left is a matter of convenien
33、ce and of the space available.NOTE 2 The sixth column shows the result of their use.The text marks in column three shall be used in combination with the symbols in column four. Some text marks are identical to the corresponding margin mark, but in many cases, it may be necessary to 2 ISO 2016 All ri
34、ghts reservedBS ISO 5776:2016ISO 5776:2016(E)identify the text that needs to be altered and this can be achieved by circling it. A few symbols extend from the text to the margin so that no separate margin mark is required.NOTE 3 Annex A demonstrates the application of some of the marks on a page pro
35、of in English and the corrected proof. The symbols on the marked-up page proof would look the same in all alphabetic languages. Annex D lists the updated versions of the basic set of symbols for alphabetic languages that was included in the previous edition of this International Standard. These have
36、 simply been extracted from Table 1 for ease of reference.3.2 Logographic languagesThe majority of symbols in Table 1 may also be used with logographic languages. Table 2 specifies the symbols that are in addition to or different from those in Table 1 for use in all logographic languages.NOTE 1 The
37、examples are shown in Chinese and Japanese. The symbols are grouped and numbered in the same way as in Table 1. The numbers appear in the first column.To indicate the instruction specified in the second column, the mark used in the text shall be as specified in the third column. The placement of the
38、 marginal marks on the right or left is a matter of convenience and of the space available.NOTE 2 The fourth column shows an example in Chinese and in Japanese and the fifth column shows the result of the corrections with the Chinese uppermost or to the left and the Japanese below or to the right of
39、 it.NOTE 3 Annex B demonstrates the application of some of the marks on a page proof in Chinese and the corrected proof. Annex C demonstrates the application of some of the marks on a page proof in Japanese and the corrected proof. The symbols on the marked-up pages in Annex B and Annex C are the sa
40、me and would be the same in all logographic languages.
