CNS 11643-1992
A Taiwanese character set for
scholars. Its 48,711 characters, 48,027 of which are hanzi are
contained in 7 planes, each of which is a
94x94 matrix.
Although its name stands for Chinese National Standard, CNS is a rarely
used character set and even the few applications that support it only
display the first two planes, whose hanzi are also found in
Big5.
EUC-TW
Extended Unix Code for Traditional
Chinese, an 8-bit encoding
form of single-byte ASCII and
multi-byte CNS 11643-1992. It uses two code sets to encode
CNS:
- Code Set 1 encodes Plane 1 characters
in 2-byte sequences
- Code Set 2 encodes characters of any
plane in 4-byte sequences
This is what each byte stands for in Code
Set 2:
1st = code set: 0x8E
2nd = plane: 0xA1-0xA7
3rd = row: 0xA1-0xFE
4th = cell: 0xA1-0xFE
If you are using
Mozilla,
Netscape or
Opera then you can
decode the text in the right column by selecting Chinese Traditional
(EUC-TW) in View : Character Coding, or View :
Encoding. Click here
if you cannot.
