Unicode to BIG5 Encoding

[V_T_S]

Hi,

Has anyone done any work on BIG5 encoding? Converting Unicode (0000-FFFF) to BIG 5 encoding.

Any guidance on this would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

VS

First question would be: why? There might be a use case, but I don't think BIG 5 is not useful in LabVIEW (you need to convert to UTF-8).

I did quite a bit of similar conversions (utf-8, utf-16, utf-32 ,ucs-16 LE\BE, to and from each other and Unicode). So I'll try to help you out if the reason you need it is valid. Just making sure before I spend time on it...

BTW. I don't think it's particularly difficult, mostly administration.

One way would be to parse CP950.txt.

It's not about LabVIEW. I am using the LabVIEW code to generate the BIG5 encoding files for a particular font type.

Unicode to UTF8, LE, BE etc I have done in past but never converted to BIG5. Not sure how straightforward that conversion is.

That sounds like a good cause.

Might have a look after the weekend, but for now... It's weekend. Sorry about that.
