OCLC supports script codes for all scripts in 066 fields. Some scripts will have more than one code depending on the Unicode character group to which they belong. Script identification codes are based on ISO 15924 Code Lists.

** MARC-8 code is the code OCLC uses to identify the original MARC-8 characters for this script. If only original MARC-8
characters are present then only the MARC-8 code will be present. Any characters for these scripts beyond the original MARC-8 use the four-letter Unicode character. See the MARC-8 Code Tables for details.
