    Hi folks,

    Elliot - the first two white papers (links below) look highly
    useful. Markus Scherer is a Unicode and charsets heavy at IBM.

    Cheers,

    Yes and no. Generally, web-based applications and browsers and related
    protocols do support GB 18030
    and Unicode and various other charsets.

    Specifically, you need to read about
    - charsets, e.g.,
    http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/docs/papers/codepages_and_unicode.html
    - GB 18030, e.g., http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/docs/papers/gb18030.html
    - Unicode, e.g., http://www.unicode.org/standard/WhatIsUnicode.html

    and about the particular applications (and versions of them) that you intend
    to use.
