13.5.2When UEB signs are used, do not use foreign code contractions or
other signs from the foreign language code such as punctuation or

13.6.4When using foreign code signs for basic elements of the script and/or
for accents, that is, categories (1) and (2) above, it is permissible
though not required to use the foreign code signs for any of the other
categories. Do not use a UEB sign that conflicts with an element in
the foreign code. Also do not mix foreign code signs and the
equivalent UEB signs for the same language in the same book. | |
13.6.5List all foreign code signs used on a preliminary page. | |
13.6.6Use foreign code contractions, i.e. category (6) above, only for a
language written in Roman script which is also one of the official

which it is requested. However, in no case is the use of foreign code
contractions mandatory. | |
13.7.1Code switch indicators are used to enclose non-UEB material, in this
case material using foreign code signs. Do not use UEB signs within
code switch indicators. | |
13.7.2When the nature and extent of the enclosed material can be clearly
deduced from formatting or other contextual considerations, as when
parallel texts in English and another language are set out in tabular
form or when the foreign language is identified by a change of
typeface, then code switch indicators may be omitted. | |
