ISO 646 should be ISO/IEC 646; similarly for 8859 and 10646. Presumably page names can't include a slash; is there some convention for representing this? In any case, since it's a global change affecting links I'll leave it for someone with a robot to do...

== rfc1345 observations ==
 
According to [http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1345.html RFC1345] ISO646-KR differs from
ISO646-US only in 0x5C position. 0x7E is '?. Same tilde symbol as ISO646-US
 
ISO646-CN, ISO646-GB and ISO646-SE have overline in 0x7E position and not tilde.
 
ISO646-US and ISO_646.irv:1991 are aliases.
 
ISO_646.irv:1983 has Cu in 0x24 position instead of $
 
In ISO646-HU 0x7E is U+02DD double acute accent and not tilde

== Verifiability? ==
 
This article deals with ISO/IEC 646 which is a closed standard.
ECMA-6 is an open standard published over internet.
 
Because ISO/IEC 646 is closed, it is not possible to verify what it contains.
As ECMA-6 is publicly and freely available, it is more verifiable.
 
If verifiability import, and as both standards are very similar from each other, why not to have more focus on ECMA-6? <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/86.75.160.141|86.75.160.141]] ([[User talk:86.75.160.141|talk]]) 19:35, 8 October 2012 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Circumflex accent in table ==
 
In the table "Characters for each ISO 646 compatible charset", comparing different versions of standard, the circumflex accent in ISO 646:1983 IRV on position 5E is given as corresponding to U+02C6 MODIFIER LETTER CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT . I thing, in the IRV version, the larger version of circumflex accent should be used; the U+005E CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Jiri 1984|Jiri 1984]] ([[User talk:Jiri 1984|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Jiri 1984|contribs]]) 14:37, 21 April 2013 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
 
== National variants references?==
I'm searching references for national variants cited in article. Where is the info about combining characters (red background)?--[[User:Unjoanqualsevol|Unjoanqualsevol]] ([[User talk:Unjoanqualsevol|talk]]) 19:33, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

== US and IRV are identical yet not identical ==
 
In the article, it states that ISO/IEC 646-IRV is now identical to ASCII.
 
Yet in the table comparing all the different variants further down the page, ASCII (or 646-US) has 7E mapped as U+007E TILDE, while 646-IRV has it mapped as a different code point, U+02DC SMALL TILDE, which contradicts the above statement.
 
Then you have a similar deal with U+0027 APOSTROPHE and U+2019 RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK.
 
I would fix that myself, but many other entries in the same row also list the same U+02DC character, so are all of those wrong too? [[Special:Contributions/58.173.133.147|58.173.133.147]] ([[User talk:58.173.133.147|talk]]) 04:04, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
