T.61 is anITU-T Recommendation for aTeletex character set. T.61 predatedUnicode,and was the primary character set inASN.1 used in early versions ofX.500 andX.509for encoding strings containing characters used in Western European languages.[1] It is also used by older versions ofLDAP.[2] While T.61 continues to be supported in modern versions ofX.500 andX.509, it has been deprecated in favor ofUnicode. It is also calledCode page 1036,CP1036, orIBM 01036.
While ASN.1 does see wide use and the T.61 character set is used on some standards using ASN.1 (for example inRSA Security'sPKCS #9), the 1988-11 version of the T.61 standard itself was superseded by a never-published 1993-03 version; the 1993-03 version was withdrawn by the ITU-T.[3] The 1988-11 version is still available.[3]
T.61 was one of the encodings supported byMozilla software inemail andHTML until 2014, when the supported encodings were limited to those in theWHATWG Encoding Standard (although T.61 remained supported forLDAP).[4]

SeeITU T.51 for a description of how the accents at0xC0..CF worked. They prefix the letters, as opposed to postfix used by Unicode.
