Within HTML documents, extended-ASCII characters (i.e., the British Pound Sterling symbol, £, and the Japanese Yen symbol, ¥) can be represented by their ISO-8859-1 (Latin 1) decimal character reference specification. The Pound Sterling symbol (£) can be represented by the following character string: £. The Yen symbol (¥) can be represented by the following character string: ¥. Many W3-certified web sites contain complete ISO-8859-1 extended character reference listings, like the sample from www.bbsinc.com/iso8859.html, below. Please note that EDGAR will suspend a filing that contains an extended ASCII character. EDGAR will only support extended character references.
Below is a partial listing of Relevant ISO-8859-1 Extended Character References for SEC HTML documents:

Some HTML editors may use the "Entity-Name" (i.e., ¥) of the character referenced rather than the standard character reference. Either technique may be used within an HTML document that is attached to an SEC filing.
In order to represent legacy SGML tagging phrases within and HTML document, filers are allowed to use the following identifiers for the reserved characters "<" and ">": < for "<" and > for ">". This will prevent the browser from misinterpreting the characters for display purposes. FILERS ONLY: Please note that the <R> tag can be represented either directly as <R> or indirectly as <R>. For all other uses of the reserved "<>" characters, filers must use the character's ISO-8859-1 representation.
| Non-Standard Tags |
Definition |
| <PAGE> | SGML tag for page markers (browsers will ignore this tag if present) |
| <R> | [NOTE: The <R> Tag can also be represented as <R>] |
| </R> | Second NOTE: the <R> tag will NOT be publicly disseminated; it is for private SEC use only] |
Please note that EDGAR may also receive XFDL submissions from filers over the Internet that have been generated by the Rel 7.0 EDGARLink/Windows. XFDL is the new packaging format for submissions recommended by the SEC. EDGAR converts all XFDL filings to SGML during the acceptance process in order to prepare them for dissemination.
