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. :-) --Erik > -----Original Message----- > From: Anthony Fok [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Saturday, February 08, 2003 3:35 AM > To: Ostermueller, Erik > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: {SPAM?} RE: CJK test data > > > On Fri, Feb 07, 2003 at 04:19:04PM -0600, > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Markus wrote: > > > For general test data for determining support of GB > 18030 I suggest to > > > contact the Chinese government and its standards > agency.
