Encoding standard: GB2312-80
(Last modified: 2000-10-22)
GB2312-80 is a standard for encoding simplified Chinese. It is used in mainland China,
Singapore and a few other places around the world. Most, if not all software applications
developed or localized for Chinese users will support the standard. For an introduction to
the standard as well as other Chinese encoding standards, please read Ken Lunde's excellent tutorial
on CJK. Wang Hai also provides very
informative references on
the subject.
There are serveral tables on the internet which enumerates those Chinese characters
specified in the GB2312-80 standard. However, there are some differences among them in the
exact number of characters listed.
