ISO/IEC 8859-2

ISO 8859-2, more specifically ISO / IEC 8859-2, also known as Latin-2, is a recently updated in 1999 by the ISO standard for information technology to character encoding with eight bits and the second part of the regulations ISO / IEC 8859th

The encodable with seven -bit US-ASCII characters correspond with leading zero bits. In addition to the 95 displayable ASCII characters (2016 - 7E16 ) codes ISO 8859-2 96 more ( A016 - FF16 ), for a total of 191 theoretically possible 256 ( = 28). Positions 0016- 1F16 and 7F16, 9F16 are assigned in ISO / IEC 8859, and thus the ISO / IEC 8859-2 no characters. The defined by IANA as ISO -8859 -2 ( with hyphen) means the combination of the characters of this standard with control characters can not be represented in accordance with ISO / IEC 6429th

ISO 8859-2 tried to cover as many special characters in the medium and partially Southeast European, predominantly Slavic languages, including the following:

  • Albanian
  • Bosnian
  • German
  • Croatian
  • Polish
  • Serbian ( in Latin symbols )
  • Serbo-Croatian ( in Latin characters)
  • Slovak
  • Slovenian
  • Upper and Lower
  • Czech
  • Hungarian
