7.7.2.1 Signalling of the Alarm flag
The setting of the Alarm flag in FIG 0/0 signals announcement support for all services in the ensemble. When the Alarm flag is set to 1 it is active and an OE alarm announcement may interrupt any service in the ensemble. FIG 0/24 OE Services information (see clause 5.3) shall be signalled for target alarm announcements...

8.2 Unicode
Most scripts are written and read in a Left-To-Right (LTR) direction, whilst other scripts use a Right-To-Left (RTL) direction; examples are Latin (LTR) and Arabic (RTL). In order to deal with this situation, the Unicode standard [3] defines methods to determine which direction the text should be presented, and rules f...

For non-Latin scripts, or text requirements which go beyond the coverage provided by the Complete EBU Latin-based repertoire character set (see ETSI TS 101 756 [2], annex C), the encoding that uses the fewest bytes to represent the label should be used, either UTF-8 or UTF-16. NOTE: UTF-16 is an extension of UCS-2, whi...

8.3.3.1 FIG type 2 labels
ETSI EN 300 401 [1], clause 5.2.2.3.1 defines the FIG type 2 extended label. As defined, FIG type 2 extended labels carry a flag field to allow the creation of a shortened label. Since this feature is no longer required, and the capacity of the FIC is limited, the Rfu bit that is present between the Segment index and E...
