| compression_type [ATSC Semantics] |
compression_type is an 8-bit unsigned integer field that identifies the compression type for the string segment in a Multiple string structure. Only values from the table below (extracted from ATSC A/65 Table 6.40) are permitted.
Compression types 0x01 and 0x02 shall be restricted for use with text mode 0x00.
