Encoding/Rendering Resource (Type 'itl5')

The encoding/rendering resource (resource type 'itl5') specifies character encoding or display behavior in a given script system. The resource has different formats and functions for 1-byte and 2-byte script systems. In 1-byte script systems, it specifies character rendering behavior. In 2-byte script systems, it contains byte-type and character-type information.

The encoding/rendering resource is optional; it does not exist for all script systems. The Roman script system does not include an 'itl5' resource.

The resource ID of an encoding/rendering resource is within the range of resource ID numbers for that script system. Although more than one encoding/rendering resource may be associated with a given script system, the script by default uses the resource specified in the itlbEncoding field of its international bundle ('itlb') resource.
