We add GB18030 support into Mozilla and also add 32 bit cmap support on windows into Mozilla about a year ago. The Linux and Mac 32-bit cmap support is a little bit behind

I think we first have GB18030 encoding support in Netscape in Netscape 6.2
You should be able to see whatever the characters in Netscape 7 if your system have a font which contains the glyph


Try the following test page

http://people.netscape.com/ftang/testscript/gb18030/gb18030.cgi?page=10

It is coded according to the hard copy of GB18030 spec. (and I also add more pages which beyond the GB18030 spec to test the > BMP part)

Hello, all.

I'm new to 18030 and was hoping that someone could verify this.
We're implementing a browser-delivered database application and would
like to support 18030.

One fairly straightforward way of implementing this
seems to be to accept 18030 at the browser
and then transcode to Unicode when the
data first reaches the server.
When sending data back to the browser,
we'd transcode back to 18030.

OK so far, right?

Unicode fonts don't support all characters in 18030, correct?
Let's assume our client makes use of 18030 characters not in unicode fonts.

What font could we use for a 3rd party reporting tool that read data straight from the unicode db, bypassing our transcoding layer?

Thanks you for your time; I've learned a lot reading through the archives of this maillist.
