T.50 (standard)
Appearance
(Redirected from T.50 (ITU-T recommendation))
ITU-T recommendation T.50 specifies the International Reference Alphabet (IRA), formerly International Alphabet No. 5 (IA5), a character encoding. ASCII is the U.S. variant of that character set.
The original version from November 1988 corresponds to ISO 646. The current version is from September 1992.
History
[edit]At the beginning was the International Telegraph Alphabet No. 2 (ITA2), a five-bit code. IA5 is an improvement, based on seven-bit bytes.

Use
[edit]This standard is referenced by other standards such as RFC 3939 ("Calling Line Identification for Voice Mail Messages"). It is also used by some analog modems such as Cisco ones.[4]
Character set
[edit]The following table shows the IA5 character set. Each character is shown with the code point of its Unicode equivalent.

Undefined, showing instead the ASCII character at that location)
A character that, in some regions, can be combined with a previous character as a diacritic using the backspace character, which may affect glyph choice.
