* Marco Cimarosti | | It seems that the IT world has a new acronym: "QBCS". I understand | that it stands for "quadra-byte character set", and I heard it used | to refer to GB 13030. | | My question is: it just a fancy sinomym for GB 13030 or can it also | refer to Unicode or other encodings?
This must be an oxymoron, in the sense that character sets don't really have a byte width, being completely abstract assignments of abstract characters to abstract numbers. So what it really means must be "quadra-byte character encoding", and both GB 18030 and UTF-32 should fit into that category. -- Lars Marius Garshol, Ontopian <URL: http://www.ontopia.net > GSM: +47 98 21 55 50 <URL: http://www.garshol.priv.no >
