\title Big5 Text Codec | |
\ingroup codecs | |
The Big5 codec provides conversion to and from the Big5 encoding. | |
The code was originally contributed by Ming-Che Chuang | |
\<mingche@cobra.ee.ntu.edu.tw\> for the Big-5+ encoding, and was | |
included in Qt with the author's permission, and the grateful | |
thanks of the Qt team. (Note: Ming-Che's code is QPL'd, as | |
per an mail to qt-info@nokia.com.) | |
However, since Big-5+ was never formally approved, and was never | |
used by anyone, the Taiwan Free Software community and the Li18nux | |
Big5 Standard Subgroup agree that the de-facto standard Big5-ETen | |
(zh_TW.Big5 or zh_TW.TW-Big5) be used instead. | |
The Big5 is currently implemented as a pure subset of the | |
Big5-HKSCS codec, so more fine-tuning is needed to make it | |
identical to the standard Big5 mapping as determined by | |
Li18nux-Big5. See \l{http://www.autrijus.org/xml/} for the draft | |
Big5 (2002) standard. | |
James Su \<suzhe@turbolinux.com.cn\> \<suzhe@gnuchina.org\> | |
generated the Big5-HKSCS-to-Unicode tables with a very | |
space-efficient algorithm. He generously donated his code to glibc | |
in May 2002. Subsequently, James has kindly allowed Anthony Fok | |
\<anthony@thizlinux.com\> \<foka@debian.org\> to adapt the code | |
for Qt. | |

\title Big5-HKSCS Text Codec | |
\ingroup codecs | |
The Big5-HKSCS codec provides conversion to and from the | |
Big5-HKSCS encoding. | |
The codec grew out of the QBig5Codec originally contributed by | |
Ming-Che Chuang \<mingche@cobra.ee.ntu.edu.tw\>. James Su | |
\<suzhe@turbolinux.com.cn\> \<suzhe@gnuchina.org\> and Anthony Fok | |
\<anthony@thizlinux.com\> \<foka@debian.org\> implemented HKSCS-1999 | |
QBig5hkscsCodec for Qt-2.3.x, but it was too late in Qt development | |
schedule to be officially included in the Qt-2.3.x series. | |
Wu Yi \<wuyi@hancom.com\> ported the HKSCS-1999 QBig5hkscsCodec to | |
Qt-3.0.1 in March 2002. | |
With the advent of the new HKSCS-2001 standard, James Su | |
\<suzhe@turbolinux.com.cn\> \<suzhe@gnuchina.org\> generated the | |
Big5-HKSCS<->Unicode tables with a very space-efficient algorithm. | |
He generously donated his code to glibc in May 2002. Subsequently, | |
James has generously allowed Anthony Fok to adapt the code for | |
Qt-3.0.5. | |
Currently, the Big5-HKSCS tables are generated from the following | |
sources, and with the Euro character added: | |
\list 1 | |
\o \l{http://www.microsoft.com/typography/unicode/950.txt} | |
\o \l{http://www.info.gov.hk/digital21/chi/hkscs/download/big5-iso.txt} | |
\o \l{http://www.info.gov.hk/digital21/chi/hkscs/download/big5cmp.txt} | |
\endlist | |
There may be more fine-tuning to the QBig5hkscsCodec to maximize its | |
compatibility with the standard Big5 (2002) mapping as determined by | |
Li18nux Big5 Standard Subgroup. See \l{http://www.autrijus.org/xml/} | |
for the various Big5 CharMapML tables. | |

\title GBK Text Codec | |
\ingroup codecs | |
The GBK codec provides conversion to and from the Chinese | |
GB18030/GBK/GB2312 encoding. | |
GBK, formally the Chinese Internal Code Specification, is a commonly | |
used extension of GB 2312-80. Microsoft Windows uses it under the | |
name codepage 936. | |
GBK has been superseded by the new Chinese national standard | |
GB 18030-2000, which added a 4-byte encoding while remaining | |
compatible with GB2312 and GBK. The new GB 18030-2000 may be described | |
as a special encoding of Unicode 3.x and ISO-10646-1. | |
Special thanks to charset gurus Markus Scherer (IBM), | |
Dirk Meyer (Adobe Systems) and Ken Lunde (Adobe Systems) for publishing | |
an excellent GB 18030-2000 summary and specification on the Internet. | |
Some must-read documents are: | |

\o \l{http://oss.software.ibm.com/cvs/icu/~checkout~/charset/data/xml/gb-18030-2000.xml} | |
\endlist | |
The GBK codec was contributed to Qt by | |
Justin Yu \<justiny@turbolinux.com.cn\> and | |
Sean Chen \<seanc@turbolinux.com.cn\>. They may also be reached at | |
Yu Mingjian \<yumj@sun.ihep.ac.cn\>, \<yumingjian@china.com\> | |
Chen Xiangyang \<chenxy@sun.ihep.ac.cn\> | |
The GB18030 codec Qt functions were contributed to Qt by | |
James Su \<suzhe@gnuchina.org\>, \<suzhe@turbolinux.com.cn\> | |
who pioneered much of GB18030 development on GNU/Linux systems. | |
The GB18030 codec was contributed to Qt by | |
Anthony Fok \<anthony@thizlinux.com\>, \<foka@debian.org\> | |
using a Perl script to generate C++ tables from gb-18030-2000.xml | |
while merging contributions from James Su, Justin Yu and Sean Chen. | |

\title ISO 2022-JP (JIS) Text Codec | |
\ingroup codecs | |
The JIS codec provides conversion to and from ISO 2022-JP. | |
The environment variable \c UNICODEMAP_JP can be used to | |
fine-tune the JIS, Shift-JIS, and EUC-JP codecs. The mapping | |
names are as for the Japanese XML working group's \link | |
http://www.y-adagio.com/public/standards/tr_xml_jpf/toc.htm XML | |
Japanese Profile\endlink, because it names and explains all the | |
widely used mappings. Here are brief descriptions, written by | |
Serika Kurusugawa: | |
\list | |
\o "unicode-0.9" or "unicode-0201" for Unicode style. This assumes | |
JISX0201 for 0x00-0x7f. (0.9 is a table version of jisx02xx mapping | |
used for Unicode 1.1.) | |
\o "unicode-ascii" This assumes US-ASCII for 0x00-0x7f; some | |
chars (JISX0208 0x2140 and JISX0212 0x2237) are different from | |
Unicode 1.1 to avoid conflict. | |
\o "open-19970715-0201" ("open-0201" for convenience) or | |
"jisx0221-1995" for JISX0221-JISX0201 style. JIS X 0221 is JIS | |
version of Unicode, but a few chars (0x5c, 0x7e, 0x2140, 0x216f, | |
0x2131) are different from Unicode 1.1. This is used when 0x5c is | |
treated as YEN SIGN. | |
\o "open-19970715-ascii" ("open-ascii" for convenience) for | |
JISX0221-ASCII style. This is used when 0x5c is treated as REVERSE | |
SOLIDUS. | |
\o "open-19970715-ms" ("open-ms" for convenience) or "cp932" for | |
Microsoft Windows style. Windows Code Page 932. Some chars (0x2140, | |
0x2141, 0x2142, 0x215d, 0x2171, 0x2172) are different from Unicode | |
1.1. | |
\o "jdk1.1.7" for Sun's JDK style. Same as Unicode 1.1, except that | |
JIS 0x2140 is mapped to UFF3C. Either ASCII or JISX0201 can be used | |
for 0x00-0x7f. | |
\endlist | |
In addition, the extensions "nec-vdc", "ibm-vdc" and "udc" are | |
supported. | |
For example, if you want to use Unicode style conversion but with | |
NEC's extension, set \c UNICODEMAP_JP to \c {unicode-0.9, | |
nec-vdc}. (You will probably need to quote that in a shell | |
command.) | |
