ANSEL, theAmerican National Standard for Extended Latin Alphabet Coded Character Set for Bibliographic Use, was acharacter set used in text encoding. It provided a table of coded values for the representation of characters of the extended Latin alphabet in machine-readable form for thirty-five languages written in the Latin alphabet and for fifty-one romanized languages. ANSEL adds 63 graphic characters toASCII,[1] including 29combining diacritic characters.
The initial revision of ANSEL was released in 1985, and before 1993 it was registered as Registration #231 in the ISO International Register of Coded Character Sets to be Used with Escape Sequences.[2] The standard was reaffirmed in 2003 although it has been administratively withdrawn byANSI effective 14 February 2013.[3]
The requirement of hardware capable of overprinting accents doomed this from ever becoming a popularextended ASCII.[citation needed]
The following table shows ANSI/NISO Z39.47-1993 (R2003).[3] Non-ASCII characters are shown with theirUnicode code point. A combining diacriticprecedes the spacing character on which it should be superimposed[1] (in Unicode the combining diacritic isafter the base character).

TheGEDCOM specification for exchanginggenealogical data refers to ANSEL (ANSI/NISO Z39.47-1985) as a valid text encoding for GEDCOM files and extends it with additional characters which are shown in the following table.[4][5]

TheExtended Latin character set fromMARC 21 is synchronized with ANSEL[2] but additionally supports theeszett (ß) character at C7 and theeuro sign (€) at C8.[6]
