- Definition
- ISO 3166-1 are the codes for the representation of names of countries and their subdivisions. The numeric-3 code has the advantage of a relatively strong script independence, i.e. in contrary to the Latin characters of the alphabetic codes the numbers used in the numeric-3 code are also used in the Cyrillic, Japanese or Greek scripts. Thus they are understood and interpreted correctly in countries where these non-Latin scripts are used.
