===Joliet===
A 1995 specification by Microsoft designed to address ISO9660:1988's shortcomings and restrictions regarding:
* Character set
* File name length (raised to 128 bytes from 30)
* Directory tree depth (eliminated 8-level hierarchy restriction, retains 240 total byte limit)
* Directory name format (raised to 128 bytes from 30, and adds file name extensions)
* Character sets ((almost) complete UCS-2 character set, using big-endian encoding)
Joliet implies use of ISO/IEC 10646 ([[Unicode|UCS-2]]) in file naming, and can be detected by examining an ISO9660 SVD (Supplementary Volume Descriptor, ISO9660 section 8.5.6)'s "Escape Sequences" field for the UCS-2 escape sequences <tt>25 2f 40</tt>, <tt>25 2f 43</tt>, or <tt>25 2f 45</tt>.
The following UCS-2 sequences are not allowed in a Joliet file name:
* All code points between <tt>00 00</tt> and <tt>00 1f</tt> (control sequences)
* <tt>00 2a</tt> (asterisk)
* <tt>00 2f</tt> (forward slash)
* <tt>00 3a</tt> (colon)
* <tt>00 3b</tt> (semicolon)
* <tt>00 3f</tt> (question mark)
* <tt>00 5c</tt> (backslash)
