- I'm trying to pin down some facts regarding character encodings.
-
- My copy of The Unicode Standard (Version 1.0, Volume 1, page 113)
- has the number 13481 for Z39.64, and 13053 for Big Five.
- My copy of The Unicode Standard (Version 1.0, Volume 2, page 20)
- has the number 13053 for Z39.64, and 13481 for Big Five.
- The change does not appear in Volume 2, Appendix D.
- Please explain.
-
- Also, I took some notes from Z39.64 itself, ISSN 1041-5653,
- as published by Transaction Publishers. I wrote down
- that Z39.64 has a total of
- 9718 on layer 1,
- 3603 on layers 2-9
- 0 on layers 10-12
- 2365 on layers 13-14
- This is a total of 13321 on the Chinese layers, and 15686 on all layers.
- Where does the 13481 quoted by Unicode come from?
-
- Other comments about the adaptation of REACC or EACC to post-1985 additions
- to CCCII welcomed.
-
- Many thanks.
