Foreword

R�amhr�

This Irish Standard has been prepared by NSAI/AGITS/WG6. It is based on and, by exercising the options permitted, is fully in conformity with ISO/IEC 646:1991 Information technology - ISO 7-bit coded character set for information interchange.Caighde�n �ireannach � seo a crutha�odh ag NSAI/AGITS/WG6. Baineadh leas as roghanna ceadaithe ISO/IEC 646:1991 Information technology - ISO 7-bit coded character set for information interchange, agus t� s� ag teacht go huile is go hioml�n leis an gcaighde�n sin.
Compliance with an Irish Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. N� leor ann f�in, mar imdh�onadh ar oibleag�id� dl�, a bheith ag teacht le Caighde�n �ireannach.

Specification

Sonra�ocht

1 Scope

1 Sc�ip

This Irish Standard specifies two Irish 7-bit coded character sets which are derived from the ISO 7-bit coded character set as described in ISO/IEC 646:1991.Sonra�tear sa Chaighde�n �ireanneach seo dh� thacar carachtar, c�daithe le 7 ngiot�n, bunaithe ar an tacar c�d�la carachtar c�daithe le 7 ngiot�n a leagtar s�os faoi ISO/IEC 646:1991.
This standard specifies two character sets for general use in Ireland, including control characters, letters, digits, punctuation signs and other symbols, the coded representation of each character, and the acronyms for the control characters of the sets. The functional characteristics of the control characters of the sets are not specified here but are specified in ISO 6429:1988.Sonra�tear sa chaighde�n seo dh� thacar carachtar at� le h�s�id go coitianta in �irinn, ina n-�ir�tear carachtair smachta, litreacha, digit�, comhartha� ponca�ochta agus s�ombail� eile, l�iri� c�daithe gach carachtair, agus aicrainmneacha do charachtair smachta na dtacar. N� anseo, ach in ISO 6429:1988, a shonra�tear tr�ithe feidhmi�la carachtar smachta na dtacar.
The character set for the English language is identical to that of BS 4730:1993. It may be used in monolingual English contexts, especially where there is a requirement for the special characters which are replaced in the Irish character set. The character set for the Irish Gaelic language is designed to be used for 7-bit encoding of Irish texts. It will also serve for English text, except where the special characters exclusive to the English set are required. The two character sets are primarily intended for the interchange of information, both nationally and internationally, between data processing systems and associated equipment, and for use in message transmission systems.Is ionann tacar carachtar an Bh�arla agus tacar carachtar BS 4370:1993. T� s� oiri�nach lena �s�id i dt�acsanna l�n-Bh�arla, go h�irithe nuair is g� na carachtair speisialta nach bhfuil i dtacar carachtar na Gaeilge a �s�id. Is chun t�acsanna Gaeilge a ch�d� le 7 ngiot�n a crutha�odh tacar carachtar seo Ghaeilge na h�ireann. Oireann s� d�reach chomh maith c�anna do th�acsanna B�arla, ach amh�in i gc�s na gcarachtar speisialta sin nach mbaineann ach le tacar an Bh�arla. Chun eolas a mhalart� idir c�rais phr�ise�la sonra� agus trealamh cocheangailte ar ard�in n�isi�nta agus ar ard�in idirn�isi�nta, a leagadh s�os an d� chaighde�n seo, agus lena n-�s�id i gc�rais r�omhphoist.
This standard makes provision for the direct representation of 128 characters, each represented by a 7-bit pattern, and provides facilities for code extension for use when their 128 characters are insufficient for a particular application. Sonra�onn an caighde�n seo l�iri� lom 128 gcarachtar, c�daithe i bpatr�n 7 ngiot�n, agus leagann s�os beala� le cur leis an gc�d sin i gc�sanna ar leith, nuair nach leor 128 gcarachtar chun na hoibre.
The code specified in this standard is fully in conformity with ISO/IEC 646:1991 by exercising the options permitted in that standard (see Subclause 8.3 of ISO/IEC 646:1991).T� an c�d at� � shonr� sa chaighde�n seo ag teacht go huile is go hioml�n le hISO/IEC 646:1991, agus � �s�id a bhaint as na roghanna ceadaithe sa chaighde�n sin (f�ach Fo-alt 8.3 in ISO/IEC 646:1991).
The font design of characters is not specified in this standard.N� shonra�tear sa chaighde�n seo dearadh chruth na gcarachtar i gcl�fhoirne.
