Extended Latin Alphabet Coded Character Set for Bibliographic Use

Abstract: This standard establishes computer codes for an extended Latin alphabet character set to be used in bibliographic work when handling non-English items. The standard addresses special characters in languages using the Latin alphabet as well as combining marks () required for romanization and transliteration. This standard establishes the 7-bit and -bit code values.
