BIG-5 does not need an escape sequence. ASCII is a 7 bit character set, which means that the top bit of the byte is “0”. The parser knows that when the top bit of the byte is “0”, the character set is ASCII. When it is “1”, the following bytes should be handled as 2 bytes (or more). No escape technique is needed. However, since some servers do not correctly interpret when they receive a top bit “1”, it is advised, in internet RFC, to not use these kind of non-safe non-escape extension. |
CNS 11643-1992 | Code for Taiwanese Character Set (CNS 11643-1992) Usage: Does not need an escape sequence. |
GB 18030-2000 | Code for Chinese Character Set (GB 18030-2000) Usage: Does not need an escape sequence. |
ISO IR6 | ASCII graphic character set consisting of 94 characters. Usage: http://www.itscj.ipsj.or.jp/ISO-IR/006.pdf |
ISO IR14 | Code for Information Exchange (one byte)(JIS X 0201-1976). Usage: Note that the code contains a space, i.e., "ISO IR14". |
ISO IR87 | Code for the Japanese Graphic Character set for information interchange (JIS X 0208-1990), Usage: Note that the code contains a space, i.e., "ISO IR87".<p>The JIS X 0208 needs an escape sequence. In Japan, the escape technique is ISO 2022. From basic ASCII, escape sequence "escape" $ B (in HEX, 1B 24 42) lets the parser know that following bytes shoul THO: Note that the code contains a space, i.e., “ISO IR87”.
The JIS X 0208 needs an escape sequence. In Japan, the escape technique is ISO 2022. From basic ASCII, escape sequence “escape” $ B (in HEX, 1B 24 42) lets the parser know that following bytes should be handled 2-byte wise. Back to ASCII is 1B 28 42. |
ISO IR159 | Code of the supplementary Japanese Graphic Character set for information interchange (JIS X 0212-1990). Usage: Note that the code contains a space, i.e., "ISO IR159". |
KS X 1001 | Code for Korean Character Set (KS X 1001) |
UNICODE | The world wide character standard from ISO/IEC 10646-1-1993 Usage: Deprecated. Retained for backward compatibility only as v 2.5. Replaced by specific Unicode encoding codes. THO Usage: Available from The Unicode Consortium, P.O. Box 700519, San Jose, CA 95170-0519. See http://www.unicode.org/unicode/consortium/consort.html |
UNICODE UTF-8 | UCS Transformation Format, 8-bit form Usage: UTF-8 is a variable-length encoding, each code value is represented by 1,2 or 3 bytes, depending on the code value. 7 bit ASCII is a proper subset of UTF-8. Note that the code contains a space before UTF but not before and after the hyphen. THO: UTF-8 is a variable-length encoding, each code value is represented by 1,2 or 3 bytes, depending on the code value. 7 bit ASCII is a proper subset of UTF-8. Note that the code contains a space before UTF but not before and after the hyphen. Since UTF-8 represents the full UNICODE character set, the following restriction apply to its use:
1. UTF-8 must be the default encoding of the message, UTF-8 cannot be specified as an additional character set in MSH-18
2. There are no other character sets allowed in a message where UTF-8 is the default encoding in the message.
In other words, UNICODE UTF-8 can only be specified as a single value in MSH-18
3. A message encoded in UTF-8 must not use a Byte Order Mark (BOM). |
UNICODE UTF-16 | UCS Transformation Format, 16-bit form Usage: UTF-16 is identical to ISO/IEC 10646 UCS-2. Note that the code contains a space before UTF but not before and after the hyphen. THO Usage: UTF-16 is identical to ISO/IEC 10646 UCS-2. Note that the code contains a space before UTF but not before and after the hyphen. Deprecated in: v2.9 |
UNICODE UTF-32 | UCS Transformation Format, 32-bit form Usage: UTF-32 is defined by Unicode Technical Report #19, and is an officially recognized encoding as of Unicode Version 3.1. UTF-32 is a proper subset of ISO/IEC 10646 UCS-4. Note that the code contains a space before UTF but not before and after the hyphen. THO Usage: UTF-32 is defined by Unicode Technical Report #19, and is an officially recognized encoding as of Unicode Version 3.1. UTF-32 is a proper subset of ISO/IEC 10646 UCS-4. Note that the code contains a space before UTF but not before and after the hyphen. Deprecated in: v2.9 |
