Hello,
Please pardon my ignorance on the subject
...
I was wondering if someone could direct me to
some (highly) technical documentation of how code pages work, in particular to
Windows systems? I want to research/understand, exactly why there
is still a need for code pages given the existence of Unicode.
I have just started a full time position, fresh
out of university, that requires me to research localization on windows ce
platforms. If this platform is Unicode based, why is there a need for
code pages?
I understand that code pages provide mappings of
user inputs, but if everything is Unicode, why is this necessary - since all
characters in Unicode are unique!
Information pertaining to the complete process,
from input to font display would be greatly appreciated.
I have been researching this and still do not
have a solid answer, only parts.
Thank you,
Chris
