12.4 Vietnamese charsets

We are currently experimenting the implementation, in recode, of a few character sets and transliterated forms to handle the Vietnamese language. They are quite briefly summarised, here.

TCVN

The TCVN charset has an incomplete name. It might be one of the three charset VN1, VN2 or VN3. Yes VN2 might be a second version of VISCII. To be clarified.

VISCII

This is an 8-bit character set which seems to be rather popular for writing Vietnamese.

VPS

This is an 8-bit character set for Vietnamese. No much reference.

VIQR

The VIQR convention is a 7-bit, ASCII transliteration for Vietnamese.

VNI

The VNI convention is a 8-bit, Latin-1 transliteration for Vietnamese.

Still lacking for Vietnamese in recode, are the charsets CP1129 and CP1258.
