|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm GB18030
|
|
encoding implements GB 18030-2000, a PRC national standard for the encoding of
|
|
Chinese characters.
|
|
It is a superset of the older GB\ 2312-1980 and GBK encodings,
|
|
and incorporates Unicode's Unihan Extension A completely.
|
|
It also provides code space for all Unicode 3.0 code points.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Multibyte characters in the
|
|
.Nm GB18030
|
|
encoding can be one byte, two bytes, or
|
|
four bytes long.
|
|
There are a total of over 1.5 million code positions.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.No GB\ 18030-1981 ( Ns
|
|
.Tn ASCII )
|
|
characters are represented by single bytes in the range 0x00 to 0x7F.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Chinese characters are represented as either two bytes or four bytes.
|
|
Characters that are represented by two bytes begin with a byte in the range
|
|
0x81-0xFE and end with a byte either in the range 0x40-0x7E or 0x80-0xFE.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Characters that are represented by four bytes begin with a byte in the range
|
|
0x81-0xFE, have a second byte in the range 0x30-0x39, a third byte in the range
|
|
0x81-0xFE and a fourth byte in the range 0x30-0x39.
