The Ada-95 RM, chapter 2.1(4,5,8,9) mentions : Row 00 of ISO 10646 in many places, but the RM doesn't say what that means. : I'd hate to waste $373 to find out that Row 00 is only a cryptic way of : referring to a subset of Ada.Characters.Latin_1. What is this mysterious : Row 00? Row 00 represents the first 256 characters of ISO 10646, and is in exact correspondence with what is called Latin-1, which is defined by ISO 8859-1. Ada.Characters.Latin_1 provides names for the various characters of Latin-1. You may eventually have to shell out the money for ISO 10646 if you are going to "play" in the modern multi-lingual world. The Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP) of ISO-10646 is equivalent to (revised) "Unicode," and you may be able to get documents more cheaply from the Unicode consortium. : BTW, ANSI, in New York City, quoted me these prices for the ISO standards : listed in Ada-95 RM, chapter 1.2: : $US Pages ISO_Standard_# Description : ---+----+----------------+---------------------------------- : $373 754 ISO 10646-1:1993 Univ.
