See Annex B: Traditional encoding and Annex C: NIEM-con<strong>for</strong>mantencoding rules <strong>for</strong> details on the use of this field.For a description of the use of alternate character encoding see Section 5.6.• The first in<strong>for</strong>mation item (character encoding index / CSI) is the indexnumber that references an associated character encoding. See the “Characterencoding index” column of Table 4 <strong>for</strong> the valid values <strong>for</strong> this in<strong>for</strong>mationitem.• The second in<strong>for</strong>mation item (character encoding name / CSN) shall be the“Character encoding name” associated with that index number, taken fromTable 4. All characters marked “A” ,“N” or “S” in the 'Type' column of Table108 Character encoding set values may be used.• The optional third in<strong>for</strong>mation item (character encoding version / CSV) is thespecific version of the character encoding used.
