| This article has explained the history and the structure of the new Chinese codepage standard GB 18030-2000, which must be implemented in future applications that are marketed for China. Unusual features and challenges are discussed, and suggestions for solutions presented.
With the release of a mapping table by the Chinese standards agency and the adoption of this mapping table by the software industry, there is a rare chance for a consistent industry-wide implementation of a codepage standard.
The standard has been modified since its publication. A new mapping table was released in November of 2000, and the text of the standard is expected to be republished in March of 2001. The date after which newly-released software must support GB 18030 has been moved to September 1, 2001. |
