🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, this is iso_8859-11 — it's the ISO/IEC 8859-11 character set, laid out for you in octal, decimal, and hexadecimal. 💖

It lives in section 7 of the manual, the Miscellaneous Information Manual, which is where all the "this is a thing you look at" pages hang out. No cap.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So the tea is: the ISO/IEC 8859 standard is a whole family of 8-bit extensions bolted onto the ASCII character set (which also goes by the ✨fancy✨ name ISO/IEC 646-IRV). And ISO/IEC 8859-11 specifically is the one that encodes the characters used in the Thai language. 🇹🇭

🫶 NOTES 🫶

okay important detail so listen up:

ISO/IEC 8859-11 is the same thing as TIS (Thai Industrial Standard) 620-2253, which everyone calls TIS-620 for short — with exactly one exception: the character sitting in position A0. ISO/IEC 8859-11 defines that one as NO-BREAK SPACE, while TIS-620 just leaves it undefined. 🙈

That's it. That's the whole difference. One byte. One lil' space. 💀
