Iran System encoding standard

Iran System encoding standard

Iran System encoding standard was an 8-bit character encoding scheme and was created by Iran System corporation for Persian language support. This standard was in use in Iran in DOS-based programs and after introduction of Microsoft codepage 1256 this standard became obsolete. However some windows and DOS programs using this encoding are still in use and some windows fonts with this encoding exist. Now most programs use codepage 1256 or Unicode.
