Character sets
2.6.2.1
The character set used in the NSG is UTF-8, which allows Welsh characters to be correctly displayed and permits foreign characters where necessary.
2.6.2.2
In free text fields, for example in the ASD Records, the @ symbol is permitted. This allows email addresses to be included. For details of when brackets and the forward slash “/” are permitted, see Section 2.5.4.
2.6.2.3
If an official Street Name is a foreign word with an accent (including umlaut, diaeresis and other marks), then the accent must be included in the NSG. For example, the Street Name may come from a twin town in another country or be the name of a foreign person.
