The following reply was made to PR misc/59799; it has been noted by GNATS. From: statue@freebsd.sinica.edu.tw (Statue) To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Re: misc/59799: New locale: zh_HK.Big5HKSCS Date: Sun, 30 Nov 2003 21:45:02 +0800 (CST) big5 code range is [0xa1-0xfe][0x40-0x7e,0xa1-0xfe]. big5hkscs code range is [0x81-0xfe][0x40-0x7e,0xa1-0xfe]. There are many difference between big5hkscs and big5 encoding. They are based on CP950. Big5 merges ETen extension characters(0xc6a1-0xc7fc). Big5HKSCS plus a lot of HongKong extension charters out side the encoding rnage of CP950. They are conflicts in 0xc6a1-0xc8fe. XFree86 add big5hkscs-0 encoding at Bug884 and big5hkscs-0 is XLFD registry-encoding. http://bugs.xfree86.org/show_bug.cgi?id=884 Mozilla also support Big5HKSCS. http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=226183#c31 zh_HK.Big5HKSCS is a glibc locale.
