10.9.7. Asian Character Sets
The Asian character sets that we support include Chinese,
Japanese, Korean, and Thai. These can be complicated. For
example, the Chinese sets must allow for thousands of different
characters. See Section 10.9.7.1, “The cp932
Character Set”, for additional
information about the cp932
and
sjis
character sets.
