CEA-608 supports languages that use the roman alphabet plus certain italicized characters. This allows it to cover English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, German and Dutch. It also supports punctuation and some special symbols such as the music note and the copyright symbol. CEA-608 does not support Unicode characters, so it cannot display characters in Chinese, Japanese, etc.
