Agenda Item 2.4
Current special characters extend ASCII, but are limited:
#, _, and “ used as signal characters
Superscripts and subscripts
Greek letters and some mathematical symbols
Transliteration tables, too, plus recent use of @
Current systems for input, output, display and searching handle these for both INIS and ETDE

ISO 2709 exchange format is main limiting factor
XML offers greater possibilities for character sets
Previous meetings suggested a subgroup be established to discuss possibilities, once XML was closer to implementation
