GB 18030 is a Chinese government standard, described as Information Technology — Chinese coded character set and defines the required language and character support necessary for software in China. GB18030 is the registered Internet name for the official character set of the People's Republic of China (PRC) superseding GB2312 . [ 1 ]
Microsoft implemented GBK in Windows 95 and Windows NT 3.51 as Code Page 936. While GBK was never an official standard, widespread usage of Windows 95 led to GBK becoming the de facto standard. While GBK included all the Chinese characters defined in Unicode 1.1 and GB 13000.1-93, these standards used different code tables.
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.
The input code of a Chinese character is its pinyin letter string followed by an optional number representing the tone. For example, the Putonghua pinyin input code of 香港 (Hong Kong) is xianggang or xiang1gang3, and the Cantonese Jyutping code is hoenggong or hoeng1gong2, all of which can be easily input via an English keyboard. In ...
The Windows console uses code page 936 as the default code page for simplified Chinese installations, although part of the GB 18030 was made mandatory for all software products sold in China. In 2002, the IANA Internet name GBK was registered with Windows-936's mapping, [ 2 ] [ 3 ] making it the de facto GBK definition on the Internet.
Code page 950 is the code page used on Microsoft Windows for Traditional Chinese.It is Microsoft's implementation of the de facto standard Big5 character encoding. The code page is not registered with IANA, [1] and hence, it is not a standard to communicate information over the internet, although it is usually labelled simply as big5, including by Microsoft library functions.
The term "ANSI" is a misnomer because these Windows code pages do not comply with any ANSI (American National Standards Institute) standard; code page 1252 was based on an early ANSI draft that became the international standard ISO 8859-1, [3] which adds a further 32 control codes and space for 96 printable characters. Among other differences ...
The CKC Chinese Input System is a Chinese input method for computers that uses the four corner method to encode characters. The encoding uses a maximum of 4 digits ("0" - "9") to represent a Chinese character. All possible shapes of strokes that forms any given Chinese character are classified into 10 groups, each represented by one of the ten ...
