Non-Unicode Character Encodings

Most of these encodings are designed to support one writing system, or a group of writing systems that use the same script. As a result, in some cases certain encodings are treated as implying a particular language, which is information that should be several layers higher in the architectural model described previously in this appendix.

Appendix C provides a more complete list of character encodings (but with less explanatory material), grouped by the writing systems they cover.
