I was just informed that Vietnam has recently published TCVN 6909:2001 "16-bit Coded Vietnamese Character Set", which is to be implemented for data interchange with and within government agencies as of 2002-07-01:
http://www.undp.org.vn/unicode/ It is a very small UCS subset: # Plane 00 # Rows Positions (Cells) 00 20-7E A0 C0-C3 C8-CA CC-CD D2-D5 D9-DA DD E0-E3 E8-EA EC-ED F2-F5 00 F9-FA FD 01 10-11 28-29 68-69 A0-A1 AF-B0 03 00-03 06 09 1B 23 1E A0-F9 20 1C-1D # Number of characters in above table: 238 So I guess all we have to do to conform to the new Vietnamese government character encoding requirement is to add suitable keyboard definitions and make sure there are ISO 10646-1 fonts with suitable coverage available.
