Abstract
To faciliatate the wider use of computers all over the world, it is necessary to provide National Language Support in the computer systems. This paper introduces some aspects of design and implementation of the UNIX-based Chinese Information Processing Systems (CIPS).
Due to the special nature of the Oriental languages, and in order to be able to share resources and exchange information between different countries, it is necessary to create a standard of multilingual information exchange code. The Unified Chinese/Japanese/Korean character code, Han Character Collection (HCC), was proposed to ISO/IEC/JTC1/SC2/WG2 by China Computer and Information Processing Standardization Technical Committee. Based on this character set and the corresponding coding system, it is possible to create a true Internationalized UNIX System.
