Subject: Unicode and CJK unification
currently I am compiling a modern Chinese language dictionary using WIndows 2000 and Office 2000 (English edition). My font is MS Arial Unicode.
All my data will be encoded in Unicode and Iwould prefer to stay with it due to the future compatibility. I use traditional and simplified Chinese characters.
I have 2 questions:
1) In my work I have to use Chinese (traditional and simplified) characters only therefore I cannot use e.g. Japanese variants. But because of the CJK unification I don't find all the Chinese forms of the characters I need. What would you recommend to me?
2) I tried several Chinese programms (Twinbridge 4.98 with Win2000 update and NJStar communicator 2.2) for input of Chinese into Access 2000, but didn't get satisfying results, Microsoft's IME for Windows 2000 is not very convinient for my purpose either. Is there any fully Unicode-compatible software for entering Chinese, which you personally used and had positive expirience with ? ( I had already a look at your page http://www.unicode.org/unicode/onlinedat/products.html !)
Thank you !
Your earliest reply will be highly appreciated
