Codepage Layout

Note that the reference to combining characters in the U+0300—U+036F range for the codes in the range 0xC1—0xCF below are only indicative of which “accent” is usually intended by that lead byte. ISO/IEC 6937 does not encode any combining characters whatsoever. Instead there is an explicit list of precomposed characters that are encoded.

A little anomaly is that Latin Small Letter G with Cedilla is coded as if it were with an acute accent, that is with a 0xC2 lead byte, since due to its descender interfering the glyph usually looks that way (Ģ ģ). In Unicode, the ohm sign 0xE0 is unified with the Greek Capital Letter Omega which ISO 6937 does not include. Unicode also distinguishes 0xE2 into uppercase Eth and D with stroke, which usually look different for the lowercase letters (0xF2 and 0xF3).
