This part of ISO/IEC9637 specifies a character encoding of the Computer Graphics Interface. For each of the functions specified in ISO/IEC9636 an encoding is specified.

This encoding of the Computer Graphics Interface provides a highly compact representation of the data, suitable for applications that require the data to be of minimum size and suitable for transmission with character-oriented transmission services.
