[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 14100"] [b]Multiple character set ( unicode )[/b] hi aslro you have bad cards in your hand ... i search a little bit inside the internet and i have found some description of Big5 ************** The characters in Unicode are a superset of the characters in GB and Big5 so it is easy to convert directly from GB or Big5 into Unicode. However, while there is some overlap between GB and Big5, there are also many simplified characters in GB that are not in Big5, and many traditional characters in Big5 that are not in GB. Consequently, conversion between GB and Big5 is not trivial, since many simplified characters map to multiple Big5 traditional equivalents. Going from Big5 to GB is easier, since the conversion from traditional to simplified is much less ambiguous.
