QBig5hkscsCodec(3qt)QBig5hkscsCodec(3qt)NAME
QBig5hkscsCodec - Conversion to and from the Big5-HKSCS encoding
SYNOPSIS
#include <qbig5codec.h>
Inherits QTextCodec.
DESCRIPTION
The QBig5hkscsCodec class provides conversion to and from the
Big5-HKSCS encoding.
QBig5hkscsCodec grew out of the QBig5Codec originally contributed by
Ming-Che Chuang <mingche@cobra.ee.ntu.edu.tw>. James Su
<suzhe@turbolinux.com.cn> <suzhe@gnuchina.org> and Anthony Fok
<anthony@thizlinux.com> <foka@debian.org> implemented HKSCS-1999
QBig5hkscsCodec for Qt-2.3.x, but it was too late in Qt development
schedule to be officially included in the Qt-2.3.x series.
Wu Yi <wuyi@hancom.com> ported the HKSCS-1999 QBig5hkscsCodec to
Qt-3.0.1 in March 2002.
With the advent of the new HKSCS-2001 standard, James Su
<suzhe@turbolinux.com.cn> <suzhe@gnuchina.org> generated the
Big5-HKSCS<->Unicode tables with a very space-efficient algorithm. He
generously donated his code to glibc in May 2002. Subsequently, James
has generously allowed Anthony Fok to adapt the code for Qt-3.0.5.
Currently, the Big5-HKSCS tables are generated from the following
sources, and with the Euro character added: <ol type=1>
1 http://www.microsoft.com/typography/unicode/950.txt
2 http://www.info.gov.hk/digital21/chi/hkscs/download/big5-iso.txt
3 http://www.info.gov.hk/digital21/chi/hkscs/download/big5cmp.txt
There may be more fine-tuning to the QBig5hkscsCodec to maximize its
compatibility with the standard Big5 (2002) mapping as determined by
Li18nux Big5 Standard Subgroup. See http://www.autrijus.org/xml/ for
the various Big5 CharMapML tables.
