What is HUA?
Hungary - Ukraine
Hungary - Austria
Peter S also made HUE meaning Hungary Easternmost point, and I like that as well.
cc = country
d = direction
ccd = extreme point of a country, like ZAS = Cape Agulhas
cccc = a border, DEDK Danish-German border
ccccd = a border with two parts, like ATCHN, the northern section of Austria-Switzerland
cccccc = tripoint, like HUROUA, Hungary-Romania-Ukraine
ccccccd = tripoint, like BAHRYON, specifying a tripoint when there are two of them, like at Bosnia-Croatia-Yugoslavia
Compare ISO / Carcode
ccd ZAS ZAS
cccc DEDK DDK
ccccd ATCHN ACHN
ccccc HUROUA HROUA
cccccd BAHRYON BiHHRYON
or
so carcode wise
FLN = Liechenstein North
FL = France-Luxembourg
ACHS = Austria - Switzerland South
ACHI = Austria-Switzerland-Italy
ACHFLS = Austria-Switzerland-Liechtenstein South
The non 2-digit country codes fits very badly, she my practical point.
You wil learn the 2-digit country codes quick.
