VSCII (Vietnamese Standard Code for Information Interchange), also known as TCVN 5712,[2] ISO-IR-180,[3] .VN,[4] ABC[4] or simply the TCVN encodings,[4][5] is a set of three closely related Vietnamese national standard character encodings for using the Vietnamese language with computers, developed by the TCVN Technical Committee on Information Technology (TCVN/TC1) and first adopted in 1993 (as TCVN 5712:1993).[2]
It should not be confused with the similarly-named unofficial VISCII encoding, which was sometimes used by overseas Vietnamese speakers.[4] VISCII was also intended to stand for Vietnamese Standard Code for Information Interchange, but is not related to VSCII.[6]
VSCII (TCVN) was used extensively in the north of Vietnam, while VNI was popular in the south.[4] Unicode and the Windows-1258 code page are now used for virtually all Vietnamese computer data,[citation needed] but legacy files or archived messages may need conversion.
