I'm a biologist working with an international biological data standards
group and we are grappling with a geographical data standard that contains
place names in many different alphabets.

We are wondering whether we should mention any specific international
coding scheme for alphabetic characters.  

I would be grateful for even short pointers to ISO's activities or
contacts in this area.

Are there stable standards for the binary representation/communication
of foreign alphabets?

Many thanks in advance.
