13.1.2.1 Character Scripts</H2> <P>
A <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_s.htm#script"><I>script</I></A> is one of possibly several sets that form an <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_e.htm#exhaustive_partition"><I>exhaustive partition</I></A> of the type <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="t_ch.htm#character"><B>character</B></A>. <P>
The number of such sets and boundaries between them is <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_i.htm#implementation-defined"><I>implementation-defined</I></A>. Common Lisp does not require these sets to be <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_t.htm#type"><I>types</I></A>, but an <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_i.htm#implementation"><I>implementation</I></A> is permitted to define such <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_t.htm#type"><I>types</I></A> as an extension. Since no <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_c.htm#character"><I>character</I></A> from one <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_s.htm#script"><I>script</I></A> can ever be a member of another <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_s.htm#script"><I>script</I></A>, it is generally more useful to speak about <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_c.htm#character"><I>character</I></A> <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_r.htm#repertoire"><I>repertoires</I></A>. <P>
Although the term ``<A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_s.htm#script"><I>script</I></A>'' is chosen for definitional compatibility with ISO terminology, no <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_c.htm#conforming_implementation"><I>conforming implementation</I></A> is required to use any particular <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_s.htm#script"><I>scripts</I></A> standardized by ISO or by any other standards organization. <P>
Whether and how the <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_s.htm#script"><I>script</I></A> or <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_s.htm#script"><I>scripts</I></A> used by any given <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_i.htm#implementation"><I>implementation</I></A> are named is <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_i.htm#implementation-dependent"><I>implementation-dependent</I></A>. <P>
