recode patch for iso5426 and ANSEL characters sets
ISO 5426 and Z39.47 (ANSEL) are character sets for bibliographic
information interchange. They are often used in the Z39.50 protocol.
ISO 5426 is an international standard. Z39.47 is an USA-only
standard for (US-)MARC records.
The patches are available for recode version 3.4 at
http://www.de.FreeBSD.org/~wosch/src/recode/recode-3.4-bib.tar.gz
NOTE: the patch support only the conversion to ISO 8859-1 (latin1),
other latin character sets (e.g. ISO 8859-2 for middle european
languages, e.g. czech) are not supported!

ISO 5426:1983 Extension of the Latin alphabet coded character set for
bibliographic information interchange Contains a set of 76 graphic
characters with their coded representations. It includes a code table
and a legend showing each graphic, its name and use, and explanatory
notes. Primarily intended for information interchange among data
processing systems and within message transmission systems, this
character set is designed to handle information in 39 specified
languages, as well as transliterated or romanized forms of an
additional 32 languages. These characters, together with the
characters in the international reference version of ISO 646 (ISO
escape sequence ESC 2/8 4/0), constitute a character set for the
international interchange of bibliographic citations, including their
annotations, in the Latin alphabet.
