NAME
       Chinese, chinese - Introduction to Chinese language support

DESCRIPTION
       There  are two kinds of written Chinese characters, traditional Chinese
       and simplified Chinese. The former is widely used in Hong Kong (HK) and
       Taiwan,	while  the latter is more widely used in the People's Republic
       of China (PRC) and Singapore.

   Codesets
       There are several coded character sets (codesets) available to  support
       each  of	 the two written Chinese languages. For each Chinese language,
       the following list notes the supported codesets and  the	 strings  that
       represent those codesets in the names of locales, converters, and other
       kinds of system files:  Codesets	 for  traditional  Chinese:  For  more
       information, see dechanyu(5).  For more information, see eucTW(5).  For
       more information, see big5(5).  For more information, see sbig5(5).

	      The Shift Big-5 codeset  is  supported  for  codeset  conversion
	      only;  it	 is  not  used in locales nor is it used for input and
	      output operations.  For more information, see telecode(5).

	      The Telecode codeset is supported for codeset  conversion	 only;
	      it  is  not used in locales nor used for input and output opera‐
	      tions.  The cp950 encoding format is identical to big5. For more
	      information,  see	 code_page(5).	For more information, see Uni‐
	      code(5).	Codesets for simplified Chinese: For more information,
	      see  dechanzi(5).	  For  more  information, see GB18030(5).  For
	      more information, see GBK(5).   The  cp936  encoding  format  is
	      identical	 to  dechanzi except that the code page supports addi‐
	      tional characters. For more information, see code_page(5).   For
	      more information, see Unicode(5).

   Locales
       The  following  list  groups  supported	locales according to language,
       country or territory, and codeset. Each locale supports	one  collation
       sequence,  which	 is  specified	following the locale name.  For tradi‐
       tional Chinese, Taiwan: Collation using internal code  order  Collation
       by  radical  Collation  by stroke Chuyin (phonetic) collation Collation
       using internal code order Collation  by	radical	 Collation  by	stroke
       Chuyin  (phonetic) collation Collation using internal code order Colla‐
       tion by radical Collation by stroke Chuyin (phonetic) collation	Colla‐
       tion  is	 the  same as for zh_TW.dechanyu For traditional Chinese, Hong
       Kong: Collation using internal code order Collation using internal code
       order  Collation using internal code order Collation is the same as for
       zh_HK.dechanyu For  simplified  Chinese,	 Hong  Kong:  Collation	 using
       internal code order For simplified Chinese, PRC: Collation using inter‐
       nal code order Collation by radical Collation by	 stroke	 Pinyin	 (Pho‐
       netic)  collation  Collation  using  internal  code order (however, all
       characters in the GB 2312 character set are ordered first, followed  by
       the  characters	in  the	 GBK  extension) Collation using internal code
       order (collation sequence reflects the subset to superset relationship;
       thus  all  characters  in GB 2312 character set are ordered first, fol‐
       lowed by the characters in GBK not already  ordered,  followed  by  the
       characters in GB18030 not already ordered) Collation is the same as for
       zh_CN.GB18030

       The asort(1) reference page contains more information on the  collation
       sequences used for Asian languages.

       You  can use the locale command (see locale(1)) to display the names of
       locales installed on your system. See i18n_intro(5) for information  on
       setting locale from the operating system command line.

       For  the	 Common	 Desktop  environment (CDE), you also need to set your
       session language to an appropriate value by using  the  Language	 menu,
       which you access by clicking on the Options button of the Login window.

   Keyboards, Input Servers, and Input Methods
       You  can	 use  any standard English PC style keyboard to enter Chinese.
       See the keyboard(5) reference page for information about	 loading  key‐
       board mapping tables (keymaps) for keyboards.

       To  support  Chinese  input  in a Motif application environment such as
       CDE, the operating system provides the  following  input	 servers:  For
       traditional  Chinese: See dxhanyuim(1X) for more information.  For sim‐
       plified Chinese: See dxhanziim(1X) for more information.	 For both tra‐
       ditional and simplified Chinese: See dxim(1X) for more information.

       The dxhanziim and dxhanyuim input servers are started automatically for
       a CDE session based on the locale setting chosen through the login win‐
       dow.  See  the  appropriate input server reference page for information
       about starting an input server from the command line.

       The operating system supports  the  following  Chinese  input  methods,
       listed  by  name	 under the written language with which the methods are
       used. Next to the name is the function key used to switch to that input
       method when the window for the input server is active.  For traditional
       Chinese:

	      (These input methods are enabled when the	 dxhanyuim  server  is
	      running.)

	      Internal code, F8
	      Phonetic, F10
	      Phrase, F9
	      Quick Tsang-Chi, F7
	      Symbol
	      Tsang-Chi, F6

	      Note  that  there	 are no locales to support the Shift Big-5 and
	      Telecode character sets, so these	 characters  cannot  be	 input
	      directly.	 For simplified Chinese:

	      (These  input  methods  are enabled when the dxhanziim server is
	      running.)

	      5-Stroke, F6
	      5-Shape, F10
	      Pin-Yin, or Phonetic, F8
	      Qu-Wei or Row-Column in GB2312-80, F7
	      Telex Code, F9
	      Phrase Input, F5
	      Intelligent ABC, F4

	      Of these input methods, the Intelligent ABC input method is  the
	      most  recent implementation. It is also the input method used on
	      PCs running Microsoft Windows.  For traditional  and  simplified
	      Chinese  (use  the  function key to invoke either traditional or
	      simplified Chinese in combination with the function key for  the
	      input method):

	      (These  input  methods  are enabled when the dxim server is run‐
	      ning.)

	      Traditional Chinese, F2:

	      Internal code, F9
	      Phonetic, F7
	      Quick Tsang-Chi, F6
	      Symbol, F8
	      Tsang-Chi, F5

	      Simplified Chinese, F1:

	      5-Stroke, F6
	      5-Shape, F8
	      Qu-Wei or Row-Column in GB2312-80, F7
	      Telex Code, F10
	      Symbol Input, F9
	      Intelligent ABC, F5

       For the following  terminals  or	 keyboard  settings,  you  can	toggle
       between	the  English input mode and Chinese input mode by using a par‐
       ticular key or key  sequence:  For  either  traditional	Chinese	 on  a
       VT382-D	terminal  keyboard or simplified Chinese on a VT382-C terminal
       keyboard, press Compose.	 In CDE for PC-style  keyboard	settings,  use
       Shift+Space  (for  Hanzi) or Alt+Space (for Hanyu) The dxim default key
       sequence is Ctrl+Space

       The preceding key sequences are defaults. You can override them by set‐
       ting other keys to perform the same function.

   Chinese Terminals
       The operating system supports the VT382-D and the VT382-C terminals for
       traditional Chinese and simplified Chinese, respectively.

   Running X and Motif Applications
       X or Motif applications require	non-ASCII  fonts  to  display  Chinese
       characters.   Therefore, the font path must be set appropriately before
       starting an application that displays Chinese characters.  An  applica‐
       tion  can  find Chinese fonts for codesets other than GBK or GB18030 in
       either	      of	  the	       following	  directories:
       /usr/i18n/lib/X11/fonts/decwin/75dpi,   for   low   resolution  display
       /usr/i18n/lib/X11/fonts/decwin/100dpi, for high resolution display

       Chinese fonts for  the  GBK  and	 GB18030  codesets  are	 installed  in
       /usr/i18n/lib/X11/fonts/SChineseTT.

       For applications running under CDE, you should not need to enter manual
       commands to ensure that the appropriate fonts  are  found  as  long  as
       those  fonts  are  installed  on the system or available through a font
       server. For other applications, you can use the	following  command  to
       check the font path: % xset q

       If  one	of  the	 directories  in the preceding list is not in the font
       path, the following example shows how to add  the  directory.  You  can
       substitute 100dp for 75dpi if you want high resolution display.	% xset
       +fp /usr/i18n/lib/X11/decwin/75dpi/ % xset fp rehash

   Printers
       The operating system supports the following Chinese  printers,  grouped
       by  language.  The associated print filter is noted in parentheses fol‐
       lowing the printer name.	 For traditional Chinese:  The	CP382-D	 is  a
       Chinese	dot  matrix  printer.  The operating system also supports text
       printers that have built-in traditional Chinese fonts and text printers
       to  which  traditional Chinese fonts can be downloaded.	For simplified
       Chinese: The LA88-C is a Chinese dot matrix printer.  The LA380-CB is a
       Chinese graphic line printer.

       In  addition,  the pcfof and wwpsof generic print filters are available
       for use with many other printers to support Chinese printing. For  more
       information   on	  setting   up	and  configuring  printers,  refer  to
       i18n_printing(5) and lprsetup(8).
