1.1 This International Standard specifies theprocedures to be followed for preparing, maintaining,and publishing a register of escape sequences and ofthe coded character sets they identify.1.2 The registration process specified in ISO/IEC 2375is not a procedure for standardization of characters orcoded character sets. Organizations that wish ISOand/or IEC to create an international standard for acoded character set or that wish ISO and/or IEC tocode additional characters into ISO/IEC 10646 need tofollow the ISO/IEC procedures for doing so. Inparticular,– Registration of a coded character set according tothe procedures specified by this standard impliesno commitment by ISO and/or IEC to adopt thecoded character set as an ISO/IEC standard.– The existence of a character in an approvedregistration does not imply a commitment by ISOand/or IEC to encode that character into ISO/IEC10646.1.3 ISO/IEC 2022 describes the escape sequencesreferenced in this International Standard, except forescape sequences reserved in ISO/IEC 2022 forprivate use.1.4 The use of these escape sequences includes codeextension, that is, the provision of additional sets ofcharacters, or of additional control functions, inaccordance with ISO/IEC 2022.1.5 An escape sequence registered in accordancewith this International Standard serves as anidentification of the character, the set of characters, orthe control function associated with it in the register.1.6 The registration itself does not specify the rules inaccordance with which a character or character setidentified by an escape sequence is to be used.Rather, the registration identifies the documents (forexample, standards) which specify such rules.
