   Europe and North Africa currently operating in 24 countries.

   The mnemonic charsets are a family of charsets which have the
   facility that within the relevant parts of the message, encoded in an
   ordinary coded character set, text may have occurrences of the
   following sequence: an intro character sequence, followed by a string
   of characters that represent a character mnemonic, as described
   below.  Similarly, the intro character sequence may be doubled,
   indicating a single occurrence of the respective symbols in decoded
   format.

   Note that many characters within a mnemonic character set may be
   represented in two different ways.  Normally the character itself is
   used, but it is also possible to use the mnemonic allocated to the
   character in a mnemonic sequence.

   In this way all characters with assigned mnemonics can be represented
   without information loss in any character set, which contains the
   invariant ISO 646 characters as a subset.  As a consequence, using a
