6.2.6.1. Specific Character Set (0008,0005)

In recognition of the global use of photographs, it is paramount to adopt a universal encoding standard that ensures consistency and interoperability across diverse systems and regions. UTF-8, designated as ISO_IR 192, has been identified as the preferred encoding scheme due to its comprehensive character representation capabilities and widespread acceptance. This encoding facilitates the accurate and reliable exchange of data, maintaining the integrity of textual information within photographs regardless of geographical and language barriers. Adopting UTF-8 as the standard encoding ensures that our documentation meets international requirements and supports the seamless integration of photographs in a universally accessible manner.
