Scope

1 This International Standard specifies the procedures to be followed for preparing, maintaining, and publishing a register of escape sequences and of the coded character sets they identify. 2 The registration process specified in ISO/IEC 2375 is not a procedure for standardization of characters or coded character sets. Organizations that wish ISO and/or IEC to create an international standard for a coded character set or that wish ISO and/or IEC to code additional characters into ISO/IEC 10646 need to follow the ISO/IEC procedures for doing so. In particular, - Registration of a coded character set according to the procedures specified by this standard implies no commitment by ISO and/or IEC to adopt the coded character set as an ISO/IEC standard. - The existence of a character in an approved registration does not imply a commitment by ISO and/or IEC to encode that character into ISO/IEC 10646. 3 ISO/IEC 2022 describes the escape sequences referenced in this International Standard, except for escape sequences reserved in ISO/IEC 2022 for private use. 4 The use of these escape sequences includes code extension, that is, the provision of additional sets of characters, or of additional control functions, in accordance with ISO/IEC 2022. 5 An escape sequence registered in accordance with this International Standard serves as an identification of the character, the set of characters, or the control function associated with it in the register. 6 The registration itself does not specify the rules in accordance with which a character or character set identified by an escape sequence is to be used. Rather, the registration identifies the documents (for example, standards) which specify such rules.
