ISO/IEC 8859-3

Encyclopedia : I : IS : ISO : ISO/IEC 8859-3


ISO 8859-3, also known as Latin-3 or "South European" is an 8-bit character encoding, part of the ISO 8859 standard. It was designed originally to cover Turkish, Maltese and Esperanto, though the introduction of ISO 8859-9 superseded it for Turkish.

ISO_8859-3:1988 ,more commonly known by its preffered mime name of ISO-8859-3 (note extra hyphen), is the IANA registered charset consisting of this standard used together with the control codes from ISO/IEC 6429 for the C0 (0x00-0x1F) and C1 (0x80-0x9F) parts. Escape sequences (from ISO/IEC 6429 or ISO/IEC 2022) are not to be interpreted. This encoding also has the aliases iso-ir-109, ISO_8859-3, latin3, l3 and csISOLatin3

The encoding remains popular with users of Esperanto, though use is waning as application support for Unicode becomes more common.
