Both have character shapes that are roughly square, and each character has a monospaced square width, which forms clean grids no matter the direction the text is typed in. How many kinds of Chinese are there?Īs we know, Chinese can be written with two different sets of characters - Traditional and Simplified. It’s a beautiful and fascinating language, and it looks so different than most western languages that we’re used to. I would recommend contacting the University Library to see if they can confirm/correct your issue.When it comes to Chinese language, we don’t need to quote numbers and statistics to convince someone that it’s one of the most widely used languages in the world. In your case, the page is old (1997) and probably no updates at all over time.
If the page still doesn’t display properly, it’s likely the source html or web server has some issue or no longer supports this kind of action. If you can use an older version browser that can (keeping in mind security concerns when using them), then open the page (or frame in your case) and set the character encoding to Big-5. Unfortunately, the major modern browsers don’t support non-Unicode encoding selection anymore. In your example, it’s:īig5 was one of the encodings commonly used to display Chinese characters. In some cases, several systems exist for a single language.įortunately you can find the identifier in the source code. We don’t think of this much these days, due to the widespread adoption of Unicode, a standard encoding scheme that covers most languages’ character sets.īefore that, specific character sets were used to display non-Western language characters. These are systems where a numerical value in the html is assigned a specific character (using a lookup table). Rather it has to do with Character Encoding. It’s not an issue of fonts, as the characters are completely wrong.
