Hi Shawn,
I was hoping you could clear something up for me regarding big5. As far as
I can tell Internet Explorer treats big5 and big5-hkscs the same. When
generating all the possible multi-byte sequences (0x81 to 0xFE as lead,
0x40 to 0x7E and 0xA1 to 0xFE as trail) I get 19782 code points of which
6217 are in PUA in Internet Explorer. Is it still the case (as suggested
by http://www.microsoft.com/hk/hkscs/ and elsewhere) that these map to
different glyphs depending on the user's locale?
Other questions you could really help me with:
1. If they do indeed map differently, is there a way to get more
information as to how they map differently?
2. Is there information available what the best Unicode code points for
these PUA code points are?
I did not email this to the charset list as it seemed off-topic. I did
however cc www-archive as this information might be relevant to other
people. Hope that's okay.
Kind regards,
