Used in records encoded with characters from sets other than
ISO 10646 (or Unicode) to
specify the character sets for data content that are present in
the record. The field alerts users that special processing may
be required. A detailed description of the standard escape
sequences used in MARC records is provided in MARC 21
Specifications for Record Structure, Character Sets and
Exchange Media.

character of the escape sequences that designate the sets (the
first character is the escape character, hex 1B).
