ISO-8859-13 is correctly and commonly called "Baltic Rim Encoding" <http://ppewww.ph.gla.ac.uk/~flavell/charset/baltic.html> <http://ww.google.com/search?q=%22Baltic+Rim+Encoding%22> It is therefore confusing and not appropriate to call ISO-8859-4 "Baltic Rim", too. ISO-8859-4 aka Latin-4 is a totally different creature. >>>> iso-8859-13 (Latin 7)" >>> Should read "iso-8859-13 (Baltic Rim)". > > There is not too much info available, See above. >>> You might want to add the following encodings: >>> iso-8859-8 (Hebrew) > > Because of the bidi support in HTML, the correct charset > for Hebrew is iso-8859-8-i. You can use both ISO-8859-8 and ISO-8859-i: <http://www.nirdagan.com/hebrew/standards> <http://www.unics.uni-hannover.de/nhtcapri/hebrew.html8> I don't see any reason why you should drop one of them. For example, in Internet Explorer these encodings are listed under "Hebrew (Visual)" and "Hebrew (Logical)", resp. >>> iso-8859-11 (Thai) > > This one is not registered with IANA > (see http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets).
