Does anybody know where to get a complete code page of Big 5 plus HKSCS used by ICU?

[Yingying Zhao]

Mr. Rhoten:

Thank you for your information.

So, do you mean ICU library uses MS950_HKSCS for Big 5 plus HKSCS character sets?

ICU doesn’t have a own defined code page for Big 5 plus HKSCS character sets?

Thanks!

The best fit would be MS950_HKSCS, when you're using something like ICU

3.6.

[icu-support] Does anybody know where to get a complete code page       of

Big 5 plus HKSCS used by ICU?

I have a problem about Big 5 plus HKSCS character sets.

I am wondering whether ICU code page for Big 5 plus HKSCS includes all the

characters provided in Microsoft's code pages.

Does anybody know where can I get a complete ICU code page for Big 5 plus

HKSCS?

Any information is much appreciated.

You wanted the Microsoft compatible one, which last time I checked, used
the Unicode 3.0 mappings. ICU has more than one HKSCS mapping table. The
Big5-HKSCS converter in ICU uses the Unicode 4.0 or 4.1 mappings by
default (I forget which one).

Your question is a little vague, since Microsoft's codepage IS Unicode. Of
course, I'm presuming that you're using a version of Windows that's been
released in the past 6-7 years. Also ICU tries to avoid making up new
codepage variants. We have a policy to try to fully emulate existing
implementations.
