RE: {SPAM?} RE: CJK test data
All,
For all those interested in following my search for GB 18030 test data.
I'm having a another one of those 'senior moments'. I could have sworn
that I sent this to the list already, but can't find it anywhere.
Forgive me if I've already sent this info.
I found some GB 18030 test data on the website of a private consultancy.
http://www.chinesization.com/gb18030_standard.htm
Download the testdata.zip from this page.
My Chinese-speaking colleage, Tianmiao Hu, informs me that
this _is_ the official test data. Can anyone confirm or deny this?
It would be nice to find this same data from a more official source.
Instructions in english would be helpful, also. :-)

Hmmm. No url. No email address. This will be interesting.

Tom Emerson's article is news to me, and I find it very
helpful. :-)
There _is_ an e-mail address that interesting parties
could try, that of
CHEN Zhuang
Chinese IT Standardization Technical Committee
Chinese Electronics Standardization Institute
His e-mail address is included in the Application of
IANA Charset
Registration for GB18030:

I suppose Mr. Chen does not in the Testing Center, but
he may be able to
provide some other pointers. :-)
Cheers,
Anthony

GB 18030 certainly does not define sorting. It defines a CCS/CES based on a mapping table to/from Unicode/ISO 10646. GB 13000 is, as far as I know, just the Chinese adoption of ISO 10646. As such, it is likely to also not define sorting because the relevant ISO standard is 14651 (=UCA).

Re: CJK test data
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1) Sorting Test a) include a list of un-ordered strings. b) follow that with the same list, ordered properly. GB18030 does not define a specific standard for sorting (as far as I know, neither does GB13000). It is an encoding standard. Since GB18030 covers all of Unicode, this is a good thing. MichKa
