NAME
       iso2022,	 iso-2022, ISO-2022 - A character encoding mechanism standard‐
       ized by the International Standards Organization (ISO)

DESCRIPTION
       The ISO-2022 standard defines a mechanism for handling single-byte  and
       multibyte  characters. The standard specifies four classes of character
       sets: The 94-charset class, which contains character sets with 94 posi‐
       tions  (single-byte  characters).  Examples are the ASCII and JIS X0201
       character sets.	The 96-charset class, which  contains  character  sets
       with  96 positions (single-byte characters). Examples are the ISO Latin
       series of character sets.   The	94x94-charset  class,  which  contains
       character  sets	with 94x94 positions (2-byte characters). Examples are
       the GB 2312 and the CNS 11643 character sets.  The 96x96-charset class,
       which contains character sets with 96x96 positions (2-byte characters).

       In the ISO-2022 standard, four registers, called G0, G1, G2 and G3, are
       used to reference a character set. Before a character set can be	 used,
       the character set must be assigned, or designated, to one of these reg‐
       isters.	The designation of a character set is done by using an	escape
       sequence in the following format:

       ESC [I] F

       In  this format: Is an intermediate character that is used to designate
       a character set to one of the registers (G0, G1,	 G2,  oR  G3).	 Is  a
       unique final character of a particular character set.

       The designation of a character set, whose final character is F, to dif‐
       ferent registers is as follows: Designates a  multibyte	character  set
       (94x94  or  96x96) to G0.  Designates a character set in the 94-charset
       class to G0.  Designates a character set in the 94-charset class to G1.
       Designates a character set in the 94-charset class to G2.  Designates a
       character set in the 94-charset class to G3.   Designates  a  character
       set  in	the 96-charset class to G1.  Designates a character set in the
       96-charset class to G2.	Designates a character set in  the  96-charset
       class to G3.
