Text encoding is an important foundation for informatization, and standardization is a crucial path for text encoding to play its role. The “Information Technology Chinese Coded Character Set” is the most important foundational standard in the field of Chinese information technology. It provides unified encoding for Chinese characters and various minority languages in China. Any information system that needs to process Chinese must apply such encoding standards, supporting China’s Chinese information processing and exchange needs.
