# Coded

The resource contains an analysis or annotations represented by a code (such as the [International Phonetic Alphabet](https://www.internationalphoneticassociation.org/content/ipa-chart)).

This contrasts with material which uses an [Orthographic ](orthographic)representation, that is, the standard writing system of some language.

Tentative: **Coded** representations are language independent. An IPA representation of Italian and an IPA representation of Danish use the same set of symbols with the same value in each case.&#x20;
