Talk:ISO/IEC 646

message: ISO 646 should be ISO/IEC 646; similarly for 8859 and 10646. Presumably page names can't include a slash; is there some convention for representing this? In any case, since it's a global change affecting links I'll leave it for someone with a robot to do... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.104.49.53 (talk) 15:37, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

message: During the 1960s, there was debate regarding whether character encoding standards [...] for computers should follow 1) existing practice in the telecommunications industry [...] or, conversely, 2) existing practice in the punched-card portion of the computer industry [...].
Well, who was the winner? --Abdull 20:21, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Combining characters 

message: According to RFC1345 ISO646-KR differs from
ISO646-US only in 0x5C position. 0x7E is '?. Same tilde symbol as ISO646-US
ISO646-CN, ISO646-GB and ISO646-SE have overline in 0x7E position and not tilde.
ISO646-US and ISO_646.irv:1991 are aliases.
ISO_646.irv:1983 has Cu in 0x24 position instead of $
In ISO646-HU 0x7E is U+02DD double acute accent and not tilde

message: This article deals with ISO/IEC 646 which is a closed standard.
ECMA-6 is an open standard published over internet.
Because ISO/IEC 646 is closed, it is not possible to verify what it contains.
As ECMA-6 is publicly and freely available, it is more verifiable.
If verifiability import, and as both standards are very similar from each other, why not to have more focus on ECMA-6?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.75.160.141 (talk) 19:35, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Verifiability? 

message: In the table "Characters for each ISO 646 compatible charset", comparing different versions of standard, the circumflex accent in ISO 646:1983 IRV on position 5E  is given as corresponding to U+02C6 MODIFIER LETTER CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT . I thing, in the IRV version, the larger version of circumflex accent should be used; the U+005E CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jiri 1984 (talk • contribs) 14:37, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  National variants references?

message: In the article, it states that ISO/IEC 646-IRV is now identical to ASCII.
Yet in the table comparing all the different variants further down the page, ASCII (or 646-US) has 7E mapped as U+007E TILDE, while 646-IRV has it mapped as a different code point, U+02DC SMALL TILDE, which contradicts the above statement.
Then you have a similar deal with U+0027 APOSTROPHE and U+2019 RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK.
I would fix that myself, but many other entries in the same row also list the same U+02DC character, so are all of those wrong too? 58.173.133.147 (talk) 04:04, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
