Text of the page (random words):
and private schools such as chiang kai shek college and saint jude catholic school remain major proponents of the usage of traditional characters some private universities such as the ateneo de manila university also use simplified characters use with computers edit in computer text applications the gb encoding scheme most often renders simplified chinese characters while big5 most often renders traditional characters although neither encoding has an explicit connection with a specific character set the lack of a one to one mapping between the simplified and traditional sets established a de facto linkage 32 since simplified chinese conflated many characters into one and since the initial version of the gb encoding scheme known as gb 2312 80 contained only one code point for each character it is impossible to use gb 2312 to map to the bigger set of traditional characters it is theoretically possible to use big5 code to map to the smaller set of simplified character glyphs although there is little market for such a product newer and alternative forms of gb have support for traditional characters in particular mainland authorities have now established gb 18030 as the official encoding standard for use in all mainland software publications the encoding contains all east asian characters included in unicode 3 0 as such gb 18030 encoding contains both simplified and traditional characters found in big 5 and gb as well as all characters found in japanese and korean encodings unicode deals with the issue of simplified and traditional characters as part of the project of han unification by including code points for each this was rendered necessary by the fact that the linkage between simplified characters and traditional characters is not one to one while this means that a unicode system can display both simplified and traditional characters it also means that different localisation files are needed for each type in font filenames and descriptions the acronym sc is used to signify the use of simplified chinese characters to differentiate fonts that use tc for traditional characters 33 internet usage edit the world wide web consortium w3c s internationalization working group recommends the use of the language tag zh hans as a language attribute value and content language value to specify web page content in simplified chinese characters
