The international standard ISO 9 establishes a system for the transliteration into Latin characters of Cyrillic characters constituting the alphabets of Slavic and non-Slavic languages.
The major advantage ISO 9 has over other competing systems is its univocal system of one character for one character equivalents (by the use of diacritics), which faithfully represents the original and allows for reverse transliteration.
This edition cancels and replaces the first edition (1986).

Here is an example transliteration using this system. The text in cyrillic is an extract from the anthem of Russia:
| Славься, Отечество наше свободное, Братских народов союз вековой, | Slav′sâ, Otečestvo naše svobodnoe, Bratskih narodov soûz vekovoj, |
