The first 256 characters in Unicode and the UCS are identical to those in ISO/IEC-8859-1 (Latin-1). Single-byte character sets including the parts of ISO/IEC 8859 and derivatives of them were favoured throughout the 1990s, having the advantages of being well-established and more easily implemented in software: the equation of one byte to one character is simple and adequate for most single-language applications, and there are no combining characters or variant forms.
LRM stands for left-to-right mark (U+200E) and RLM stands for right-to-left mark (U+200F). ==Relationship to Unicode and the UCS== Since 1991, the Unicode Consortium has been working with ISO and IEC to develop the Unicode Standard and ISO/IEC 10646: the Universal Character Set (UCS) in tandem.
