411.0. "Where can I get BIG5 code set?" by TKOVOA::TAKAHASHI_A (TSUSHI ABU/MFG1-4) Sat Mar 08 1997 18:17

Hi,
I want to get BIG5 code set matrix (?) or BIG5 character code list (?) 
or BIG5 character code chart (?) same as "Kanji Code-Hyo" in Japan.   
Can I get from net, or buy at book store? (if code set is sold in book 
store, please tell me ISBN number)

Thanks in advance,

    Hi Takahashi san,
    
    According to my book, "Understanding Japanese Information Processing",
    big5 was established by the Institute of Information Industry of
    Taiwan. And I found its website is www.iii.org.tw. However I could
    not find any information about big5 in that web site. There is a
    mail address in that website, iiw3@iii.org.tw, you can send mail
    message to ask them.
    
    I think some books about chinese computing will have the table of
    big5. But I don't have any. I think you can ask people in Digital
    Taiwan if they can find the books. If I go to China Town, I will
    go to Chinese book store and check to see if there is any.
    
    Good Luck,

411.2Unicode Big5 tableTHOMAS::DEVRIESMark DeVriesThu Mar 13 1997 01:437
If you would find useful a text file mapping Unicode to Big5, with character
names but not the graphic characters themselves, you can get such a table from
the Unicode Consortium site at http://www.unicode.org/.  The Big5 table is at
