Example using "BILL JOHN SARA JILL" as what the user could type:

Code:

NAME

       TACTIS, tactis - A character encoding system (codeset) for Thai.

DESCRIPTION

       The  TACTIS  (Thai  API Consortium/Thai Industrial Standard) codeset consists of the following two character sets: ASCII (ISO 646-1983) TIS
       620-2533

	      These characters are 8-bit coded, ranging from 00 to FF.

   ASCII Characters
       In the TACTIS codeset, all ASCII characters are implemented in the form of single-byte, 7-bit characters; that is, the most significant bit
       (MSB) of ASCII characters is always set off. For more information, refer to ascii(5).

   TIS 620-2533 Characters
       The TIS 620-2533 character set includes 89 characters that are categorized as follows: Consonants: 44 Vowels: 18 total (5 leading vowels, 6
       following vowels, 2 below vowels, and 5 above vowels) Tone marks: 4 Diacritics: 5  (4 above diacritics and 1 below  diacritic)  NonComposi-
       bles: 8 (1 nobreak space, 10 Thai digits, 6 Thai special characters, and 1 word separator)

									      Note

	      Thai  digits are not recognized by the isdigit(), iswdigit(), isxdigit(), and iswxdigit(), isalnum(), and iswalnum() functions. Many
	      applications make assumptions about how a digit character can be converted to its numeric equivalent. Changing the functions to rec-
	      ognize Thai digits would break these applications.

   Code Ranges in the TACTIS Codeset
       In  the	TACTIS	codeset,  the most significant bit (MSB) of a byte is set on in codes for TIS 620-2533 characters. This differentiates TIS
       620-2533 character code from ASCII character code.

       Following are the code ranges for each of the five categories of Thai characters in the codeset:

       --------------------------------------------------
       Category 		  Code Range (hex)
       --------------------------------------------------
       Consonants		  A1 to CE
       Leading vowels		  E0 to E4
       Normal following vowels	  D0, D2, D3, E5
       Special following vowels   C4, C6
       Below vowels		  D8, D9
       Above vowels		  D1, D4 to D7
       Tone marks		  E8 to EB
       Above diacritics 	  E7, EC to EE
       Below diacritics 	  DA
       Nobreak space		  A0
       Thai digits		  F0 to F9
       Thai special characters	  CF, DF, E6, EF, FA, FB
       Word separator		  DC
       --------------------------------------------------

       In TACTIS, the hexadecimal code points of TIS 620-2533 characters are as follows:

	A0 NO-BREAK SPACE      C0 PO SAMPOW	   E0 SARA E
	A1 KO KAI	       C1 MO MA 	   E1 SARA AE
