Abstract
This document provides information about character encoding
GEOSTD8 (Georgian standard single byte encoding) which is a de-facto standard in Georgia for information interchange and presentation of WWW information resources in Georgian language.
This charset is suitable for use in MIME text body parts.
Introduction
Though the proposed character set "geostd8" is not currently an international standard, there is very large user community (including most of Georgian ISP and governmental organizations) supporting it. Factually, "geostd8" widely used in Georgian Internet community for mail and news exchange as well as for presentation of WWW information resources in Georgian language.
Originally, specification of proposed standard "geostd8" was officially adopted by the meeteng of representatives of different Georgian organizations at Autumn of 1999 presented by workgroup which was created earlier by the meeting of the same representatives. Later, this standard was adopted by Standard's Commettee of Georgia.
GEOSTD8 is developed as a single byte encoding for all contemporary and old Georgian characters used in the Georgian language. It is developed for use in Microsoft Windows environments, but is also being incorporated in GNU libc.
Requirements
Characteristics:
- The proposed charset conforms to the definition of a "charset"
as defined in 2.4 of RFC 2278.
- The proposed charset is suitable for use in MIME.
- The proposed charset is specified in a stable, openly available
specification.a Coded Character Set
New Charsets:
- The proposed charset is NOT new charset. It is a Georgian
nstionsl standard published on May 15, 1998 by Standartization
Commettee of Georgia.
- This charset is suitable for use in MIME text body parts.
- The proposed charset is specified in a stable, openly available
specificationj
Name:
- proposed name for the charset is "geostd8"
Functionality:
- The proposed charset functions as an actual charset.
- The name conforms to the ABNF definition in sec 3.3 of RFC 2978.
Usage and Implementation:
GEOSTD8 (Georgian standard) is a de-facto standard in Georgia and
used in different operation systems and Internet user applications
including encoding tables, fonts, locales for many operating
systems and environments.
Examples of implementation of the GEOSTD8 charset can be viewed at
http://www.gia.ge/windows_9x/windows_9x.htm and at
http://www.gia.ge/scrshots/ns_6/ns6.htm
Publication:
The proposed charset was published by Standartization Commettee of
Georgia in May 1998. Order No.70
SSP 18.1-98 -- Information Technologies –- 8-bit single-byte coded
graphic character set -- Georgian alphabet -- Part II
Approved by Ministry of Justice of Georgia – No. 120.013.003.270
