Abstract / scope

Specifies a character encoding of the computer graphics interface. For each of the functions specified in ISO/IEC 9636 an encoding is specified. The encoding provides a highly compact representation of the data, suitable for applications that require the data to be of minimum size and suitable for transmission with character-oriented transmission services.
