NAME

     gb18030 -- GB 18030 encoding method for Chinese text

SYNOPSIS

     ENCODING "GB18030"

DESCRIPTION

     The GB18030 encoding implements GB 18030-2000, a PRC national standard for the encoding of Chinese characters.  It is a superset of the older
     GB 2312-1980 and GBK encodings, and incorporates Unicode's Unihan Extension A completely.	It also provides code space for all Unicode 3.0
     code points.

     Multibyte characters in the GB18030 encoding can be one byte, two bytes, or four bytes long.  There are a total of over 1.5 million code
     positions.

     GB 11383-1981 (ASCII) characters are represented by single bytes in the range 0x00 to 0x7F.

     Chinese characters are represented as either two bytes or four bytes.  Characters that are represented by two bytes begin with a byte in the
     range 0x81-0xFE and end with a byte either in the range 0x40-0x7E or 0x80-0xFE.

     Characters that are represented by four bytes begin with a byte in the range 0x81-0xFE, have a second byte in the range 0x30-0x39, a third
     byte in the range 0x81-0xFE and a fourth byte in the range 0x30-0x39.

DESCRIPTION

       The QGbkCodec class provides conversion to and from the Chinese GBK encoding.

       GBK, formally the Chinese Internal Code Specification, is a commonly used extension of GB 2312-80. Microsoft Windows uses it under the name
       code page 936.

       The GBK encoding has been superceded by the GB18030 encoding and GB18030 is backward compatible to GBK. For this reason the QGbkCodec class
       is implemented in terms of the GB18030 codec and uses its 1-byte and 2-byte portion for conversion from and to Unicode.

       The QGbkCodec is kept mainly for compatibility reasons with older software.

       See also Internationalization with Qt.
