VSCII (Vietnamese Standard Code for Information Interchange), also known as TCVN 5712, [2] ISO-IR-180, [3].VN, [4] ABC [4] or simply the TCVN encodings, [4] [5] is a set of three closely related Vietnamese national standard character encodings for using the Vietnamese language with computers, developed by the TCVN Technical Committee on Information Technology (TCVN/TC1) and first adopted in ...
Windows-1258 is a code page used in Microsoft Windows to represent Vietnamese texts. It makes use of combining diacritical marks.. Windows-1258 is compatible with neither the Vietnamese standard (TCVN 5712 / VSCII), nor the various other encodings in use in practice (VISCII, VNI, VPS).
The successful inclusion of composed and precomposed Vietnamese in Unicode 1.0 was the result of the lessons learned from the development of 8-bit VISCII and 7-bit VIQR. [ 2 ] The next year, in 1993, Vietnam adopted TCVN 5712 , its first national standard in the information technology domain. [ 3 ]
The majority of code pages in current use are supersets of ASCII, a 7-bit code representing 128 control codes and printable characters. In the distant past, 8-bit implementations of the ASCII code set the top bit to zero or used it as a parity bit in network data transmissions. When the top bit was made available for representing character data ...
The term "ANSI" is a misnomer because these Windows code pages do not comply with any ANSI (American National Standards Institute) standard; code page 1252 was based on an early ANSI draft that became the international standard ISO 8859-1, [3] which adds a further 32 control codes and space for 96 printable characters. Among other differences ...
For instance, support for all above mentioned 8-bit encodings, with the exception of Windows-1258, was dropped from Mozilla software in 2014. [11] Many Vietnamese fonts intended for desktop publishing are encoded in VNI or TCVN3 . [9] Such fonts are known as "ABC fonts". [12]
Originally proposed to support the Celtic languages, [6] [7] then slated for Latin/Devanagari, [8] but abandoned in 1997, during the 12th meeting of ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 2/WG 3. [9] The Celtic proposal was changed to ISO 8859-14, with part 12 possibly being reserved for ISCII Indian.
ISO-8859-9 is the IANA preferred charset name for this standard when supplemented with the C0 and C1 control codes from ISO/IEC 6429. In modern applications Unicode and UTF-8 are preferred; authors of new web pages and the designers of new protocols are instructed to use UTF-8 instead. [ 3 ]
