NAME
       GBK, gbk - A character encoding system (codeset) for Simplified Chinese

DESCRIPTION
       The  GBK character set is an extension to the GB 2312-80 character set.
       (The “K” in “GBK” is the first sound in the Chinese  word  “Kuo	Zhan,”
       which  means “extension.”) GBK includes all the Hanzi characters speci‐
       fied by the ISO 10646-1:1993 standard (characters also known as the  GB
       13000.1.93  character  set) that are not included in GB 2312-80. GBK is
       therefore defined as a normative annex of GB13000.1-93.

   GBK Value Ranges and Code Points
       The GBK codeset is divided into five levels, as follows:

       ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
       Level   Encoding Range	Code Points    Characters
       ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
       GBK/1   0xA1A1-0xA9FE	846	      717
       GBK/2   0xB0A1-0xF7FE	6,768	      6,763
       GBK/3   0x8140-0xA0FE	6,080	      6,080
       GBK/4   0xAA40-0xFE40	8,160	      8,160
       GBK/5   0xA840-0xA9A0	192	      166
       ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

       In addition, GBK includes code points for user-defined  characters,  as
       follows:

       ─────────────────────────────
       Encoding Range	Code Points
       ─────────────────────────────
       0xAAA1-0xAFFE	564
       0xF8A1-0xFEFE	658
       0xA140-0xA7A0	672
       ─────────────────────────────

       GBK  therefore  provides a total of 23,940 code points, 21,886 of which
       are assigned.

       Each row in the GBK code table consists of 190 characters. ASCII	 char‐
       acters,	which  are  single-byte	 characters,  are defined in the range
       0x21-0x7E. Encoding ranges for two-byte characters are as follows:

       Encoding range for the first byte: 0x81-0xFE

       Encoding ranges for the second byte: 0x40-0x7E and 0x80-0xFE

					Note

       In terms of character-to-code allocation, the sub-range	for  GB2321-80
       characters  (0xA1A1-0xFEFE)  in	GBK is the same encoding range defined
       for these characters in Extended UNIX  Code  (EUC).  GBK	 is  therefore
       backward	 compatible  with Chinese EUC encoding as well as forward com‐
       patible with the encoding as defined by ISO 10646-1:1993.

       GBK is the standard character set and encoding used in  the  Simplified
       Chinese version of Windows 95.

   Codeset Converters for GBK
       The following codeset converter pairs are available for converting Sim‐
       plified Chinese characters between GBK and UCS formats. Refer  to  Uni‐
       code(5)	for more information about the UTF-16, UCS-4, and UTF-8 encod‐
       ing formats.  Refer to iconv_intro(5) for an  introduction  to  codeset
       conversion.  UTF-16_GBK, GBK_UTF-16

	      Converting from and to UTF-16 format UCS-4_GBK, GBK_UCS-4

	      Converting from and to UCS-4 format UTF-8_GBK, GBK_UTF-8

	      Converting from and to UTF-8 format

       The following set of Simplified Chinese TrueType fonts are available as
       an      installation	 option:       -huatian-fangsong-medium-r-nor‐
       mal--0-0-0-0-c-0-gbk-1		       -huatian-fangsong-medium-r-nor‐
       mal--0-0-0-0-m-0-iso8859-1

       -huatian-heiti-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-gbk-1       -huatian-heiti-

       medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-iso8859-1

       The  default and optional fonts can be used for printing only with Chi‐
       nese text printers. With either	the  default  or  optional  font  sets
       installed,  the	SongTi	fonts are the default screen fonts for the GBK
       codeset. See wwpsof(8) for information on the PostScript	 print	filter
       and TrueType fonts.
