Joliet

   <standard, storage> An extension of the {ISO 9660:1988} {ISO}
   {standard} {file system} for {CD-ROMs} that allows {Unicode}
   characters in file names and other enhancements.  Version 1 of
   Joliet was released on 1995-05-22.

   Joiliet supports file and directory names up to 128 bytes (64
   unicode characters) long, directory names with file name
   extensions, a directory hierarchy deeper than 8 levels and the
   {volume recognition sequence} supports {multisession}.

   Joliet uses ISO 9660's "supplementary volume descriptor" (SVD)
   to specify Unicode files.  Use of the previously unused escape
   sequence ISO 2022 means that Joliet is {backward compatible}
   with ISO 9660..
