Xerox Character Code Standard(XCCS)는 Xerox Network Systems Architecture 요소 간의 정보[2]교환을 위해 1980년에 Xerox에 의해 작성된[1] 과거 16비트 문자 인코딩입니다.라틴어, 아랍어, 히브리어, 그리스어 및 키릴 문자, 중국어, 일본어 및 한국어 문자 체계, [3]기술 기호를 사용하여 언어에 필요한 문자를 인코딩합니다.
이는 유니코드[4][1]표준의 초기 선구자이며 이에 대한 영감을 주는 것으로 볼 수 있습니다.
International Character Set(ICS; 국제 문자 집합)은 XCCS와 [5]호환성이 있습니다.
^Becker, Joseph D. (1998-09-10) [1988-08-29]. "Unicode 88"(PDF). unicode.org (10th anniversary reprint ed.). Unicode Consortium. Archived(PDF) from the original on 2016-11-25. Retrieved 2016-10-25. In 1978, the initial proposal for a set of "Universal Signs" was made by Bob Belleville at Xerox PARC. Many persons contributed ideas to the development of a new encoding design. Beginning in 1980, these efforts evolved into the Xerox Character Code Standard (XCCS) by the present author, a multilingual encoding which has been maintained by Xerox as an internal corporate standard since 1982, through the efforts of Ed Smura, Ron Pellar, and others. Unicode arose as the result of eight years of working experience with XCCS. Its fundamental differences from XCCS were proposed by Peter Fenwick and Dave Opstad (pure 16-bit codes), and by Lee Collins (ideographic character unification). Unicode retains the many features of XCCS whose utility have been proved over the years in an international line of communication multilingual system products.
