ITU T.61 (original) (raw)

T.61 is an ITU-T Recommendation for a Teletex character set. T.61 predated Unicode,and was the primary character set in ASN.1 used in early versions of X.500 and X.509for encoding strings containing characters used in Western European languages. It is also used by older versions of LDAP. While T.61 continues to be supported in modern versions of X.500 and X.509, it has been deprecated in favor of Unicode. It is also called Code page 1036, CP1036, or IBM 01036.
