ISO-646-YU used to be (and still partly is) a very well known and heavily used standard on the Balkans. Attention: This standard uses ASCII coding points under 127(dec) for special South Slavic characters. In this way, it corrupts the used coding points. This standard is not at all suitable for world wide document distribution, since one needs a compatible font and has no possibility of concurently displaying corrupted coding points.
If you happen to see the upper test column ("us-ascii") as South Slavic characters, you luckily happen to have a very special browser-font configuration. Please do not forget that there are good chances that people around the world are mostly going to see brackets instead. This standard is not to be used in HTML-documents! The existing HTML-documents that use this standard should be revised.
