Chinese scientists have succeeded in digitalizing all Chinese characters with
a four-byte coding technology, enabling ancient texts full of rare characters to
be printed.
Wang Hongyuan, the inventor of the coding technology, said on Tuesday that it
will not only help people type and search all Chinese characters, but also solve
problems caused by rare characters or words in people's daily
life.
Taking bank service as an example, Wang said, "If a
man's name contained rare characters, he had difficulty in setting up a
deposit account since the computer system of the bank did not have a
sophisticated enough coding method to recognize his name."
