1.1 This part of ISO5426 specifies a set of 70 graphic characters with their coded representations intended primarily for the interchange of information among data processing systems and within message transmission systems. It consists of a code table and a legend showing each graphic, its use and its name.

1.2 These characters form a supplement to the extended Latin alphabet coded character set for bibliographic use (ISO5426) in that they cover certain less common and obsolete languages that use the Latin script and obsolete printing conventions.

1.3 This character set, in conjunction with characters from ISO/IEC646 and ISO5426, is intended to handle information in the following languages: Anglo-Saxon; Greenlandic; Lappish; Latin; Latvian (older forms); Maltese.

It is also intended to cover printing conventions associated with older books, in particular, marks associated with binding signatures.
