Line 8: ISCII is a stateful 8-bit encoding. The lower 128 codepoints are plain [[American Standard Code for Information Interchange\|ASCII]], the upper 128 codepoints are ISCII-specific. In addition to the codepoints representing characters, ISCII makes use of a codepoint with mnemonic ATR that indicates that the following byte contains one of two kinds of information. One set of values changes the writing system until the next writing system indicator or end-of-line. Another set of values select display modes, such as bold and italic. ISCII does not provide a means of indicating the default writing system. ISCII has not been widely used outside of certain government institutions and has now been rendered largely obsolete by [[Unicode]]. Unicode ~~does use~~uses a separate block for each Indic writing system, and it largely preserves the ISCII layout within each block. == External links ==
