Hi,
First of all, thanks for your effort and your response...
I've found it in VIKI. It's YUSCII, isn't?
...
I have no idea if names like HRYU and SLYU are acceptable for you.
I like żabeceda (I guess that in Poland we'd converted it to
żabcia) but it's not good name to use in multilanguage project ;-)
You are wright. Start was YUSCII. Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia, Montenegro,
Bosnia and Hercegovina,...
were parts of former Yugoslavia.
YUSCII (CROSCII) had many names (YUSCII, CP-999, CROSCII, CRO-437), and this
was first
implementation of our diacritics, and it was 7-bit codepage...
And again - you are wright it was also called žabeceda, because @ that is
implementation for Ž is before
letter A :))
About proposed name, I think it would be ok something like CROSCII/SLOSCII
(I would like to avoid
HRYU and SLYU). Or maybe HR999/SL999
Some explanation:
-------------------
In the 1990s, there was a general confusion about the proper character
encoding to use to
write text in Latin Croatian (also Slovenian, Serbian-latin) on computers.
- An attempt was made to apply the 7-bit coding - "YUSCII" (later adapted to
CROSCII), which included
the five letters with diacritics at the expense of five non-letter
characters ([, ], {, }, @)
(This "codepage" was called YUSCII, CP-999, CROSCII, CRO-437,...)
Also this codepage was included with nation support for Clipper 5.2
(MsgCro.obj, NtxCro.obj)
-The 8-bit ISO 8859-2 (Latin-2) standard was developed by ISO
-MS-DOS introduced 8-bit encoding CP852 for Central European languages
-Microsoft Windows spread yet another 8-bit encoding called CP1250, which
had a few letters
mapped one-to-one with ISO 8859-2, but also had some mapped elsewhere.
