The areas indicated in the previous section as GBK/1 and GBK/2, taken by themselves, is simply GB 2312-80 in its usual encoding, GBK/1 being the non-hanzi region and GBK/2 the hanzi region. GB 2312, or more properly the EUC-CN encoding thereof, takes a pair of bytes from the range A1 – FE , like any 94² ISO-2022 character set loaded into GR.
The EUC-CN form was later extended into GBK to include all Unicode 1.1 CJK Ideographs in 1993, abandoning the ISO-2022 model. By doing so, GBK includes traditional Chinese characters in addition to simplified ones in GB2312. [3] GBK gained popularity through the widespread Code page 936 implementation found in Microsoft Windows 95.
While GB/T 2312 covers over 99.99% contemporary Chinese text usage, [8] historical texts and many names remain out of scope. Old GB 2312 standard includes 6,763 Chinese characters (on two levels: the first is arranged by reading, the second by radical then number of strokes), along with symbols and punctuation, Japanese kana, the Greek and Cyrillic alphabets, Zhuyin, and a double-byte set of ...
Since GBK is a superset of EUC-CN (although not itself an EUC code) and superseded GB 2312 long ago, and since Microsoft software continued to assign the GB2312 encoding label to code page 936 even after extending it to implement GBK rather than EUC-CN, most modern-day Windows-based software products mean partial support for GBK via Windows-936 ...
GBK: 1386: IBM-936 is a different Simplified Chinese encoding with a different encoding method, which has been deprecated since 1993. ANSI/OEM (PRC, Singapore) 949: Korean: Unified Hangul Code: 1363: IBM-949 is also an EUC-KR superset, but with different (colliding) extensions. ANSI/OEM (Republic of Korea) 950: Chinese (traditional) Big5 ...
GB 18030 defines a one (ASCII), two (extended GBK), or four-byte (UTF) encoding. The two-byte codes are defined in a lookup table, while the four-byte codes are defined sequentially (hence algorithmically) to fill otherwise unencoded parts in UCS .
Extended Unix Code (EUC) is a multibyte character encoding system used primarily for Japanese, Korean, and simplified Chinese (characters).. The most commonly used EUC codes are variable-length encodings with a character belonging to an ISO/IEC 646 compliant coded character set (such as ASCII) taking one byte, and a character belonging to a 94×94 coded character set (such as GB 2312 ...
IBM code page 936 should not be confused with the identically numbered Windows code page, which is a variant of the GBK encoding; [2] GBK is called Code page 1386 by IBM. While GBK is a superset of the EUC-CN encoding of GB 2312, IBM-936 uses a different coded form of GB 2312, more closely resembling the relationship of Shift JIS to JIS X 0208.
