ISO/IEC 8859-11

In today's world, ISO/IEC 8859-11 has become a topic of utmost importance and relevance. Whether in the personal, professional, political or social sphere, ISO/IEC 8859-11 has gained great relevance and has generated a wide debate among experts and society in general. The importance of ISO/IEC 8859-11 lies in its direct impact on different aspects of daily life, as well as its influence on the development and evolution of different areas of knowledge and culture. This is why it is essential to analyze and understand in depth the importance and impact that ISO/IEC 8859-11 has on our current reality, as well as to anticipate possible future scenarios that may arise as a result of its presence in various areas.

ISO/IEC 8859-11:2001, Information technology — 8-bit single-byte coded graphic character sets — Part 11: Latin/Thai alphabet, is part of the ISO/IEC 8859 series of ASCII-based standard character encodings, first edition published in 2001. It is informally referred to as Latin/Thai. It is nearly identical to the national Thai standard TIS-620 (1990). The sole difference is that ISO/IEC 8859-11 allocates non-breaking space to code 0xA0, while TIS-620 leaves it undefined. (In practice, this small distinction is usually ignored.)

ISO-8859-11 is not a main registered IANA charset name despite following the normal pattern for IANA charsets based on the ISO 8859 series. However, it is defined as an alias of the close equivalent TIS-620 (which lacks the non-breaking space), and which can without problems be used for ISO/IEC 8859-11, since the no-break space has a code which was unallocated in TIS-620. Microsoft has assigned code page 28601 a.k.a. Windows-28601 to ISO-8859-11 in Windows. A draft had the Thai letters in different spots.

As with all varieties of ISO/IEC 8859, the lower 128 codes are equivalent to ASCII. The additional characters, apart from no-break space, are found in Unicode in the same order, only shifted from 0xA1 to U+0E01 and so forth.

The Microsoft Windows code page 874 as well as the code page used in the Thai version of the Apple Macintosh, MacThai, are variants of TIS-620 — incompatible with each other, however.
