About This Item
TS EN ISO 3098-4 addresses the diacritical and particular marks used with Latin-alphabet lettering in technical product documentation. It organizes the marks intended for use together with the characters given in ISO 3098-2, helping technical drawings and related documents present multilingual text consistently and correctly.
Why diacritical marks matter in technical lettering
In technical documentation, letters are often combined with language-specific marks that change pronunciation, meaning, or spelling. Accents, special signs, and other diacritical elements help ensure that names, notes, labels, and instructions are read as intended. In practice, these marks support legibility and linguistic accuracy, which are both important when drawings and product documents are used across different languages and regions.
According to the scope, this standard lists the marks in Tables 1 and 2 according to the various languages in which they are used. It is meant to be read together with ISO 3098-2, which provides the underlying character set. In other words, the document complements the Latin alphabet lettering system rather than defining a separate alphabet or a new general lettering method.
