cyan - a deprecated entry that was originally either in the standard or was added to the register, but has since been deprecated

The following icons are used to identify items that have figures, modifications and/or clarification notes:

F n - has Figures and, if more than one figure, n figures
M - has Modifications
C - has Clarifications
