ISO 6438

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ISO 6438, "Documentation - African coded character set for bibliographic information interchange," is an ISO standard for African language 8-bit character encodings for use by computers. Originally adopted in 1983, it has apparently had little use and is now superseded by Unicode.
