Alternate Character Set Handling Scheme

Introduced in v2.3.1· hl7· Steward: InM· universal· 3 values

HL7-defined code system of concept that specify the scheme used when any alternative character sets are specified in the second or later iterations of MSH-18 Character Set, and if any special handling scheme is needed. Used in HL7 Version 2.x messaging in the MSH segment.

No description available in the specification.

The character set switching mode specified in HL7 2.5, section 2.7.2 and section 2.A.46, "XPN - extended person name".
Usage: Note that the escape sequences used in this mode do not use the ASCII "esc" character, as defined in ISO 2022-1994. They are "HL7 escape sequences" as first defined in HL7 2.3, sec. 2.9.2. (Also, note that sections 2.8.28.6.1and 2.9.2 in HL7 2.3 correspon

This standard is titled "Information Technology - Character Code Structure and Extension Technique". .
Usage: This standard specifies an escape sequence from basic one byte character set to specified other character set, and vice versa. The escape sequence explicitly specifies what alternate character set to be evoked. Note that in this mode, the actual ASCII esc
