The I.S.O. character code
Standard Telephones and Cables Ltd., Connaught House, Aldwych, London, UK
A specific and fully detailed proposal has been prepared within the International Organization for Standardization on a character code for use in computer, data-processing and telecommunication systems. Although it is still subject to formal ratification, it is clear that this new character code and its repertoire of symbols should be considered for use in any future system. This affects designers of equipment and programming languages, systems planners, and those who have to choose the symbols and equipment used in commercial applications.
