Windows XP - East Asian languages - where to test

R

Richard Fangnail

I just installed the East Asian language files (in Regional and
Language Options in Control Panel). It seems to be okay from some
small pages.

Are there any web pages that are good for testing if all the characters
in the three languages are working right?

Thanks

There are millions, I suppose, but here is a link to a searchable
version of the Complete Tang Poems å…¨å”è©© in simplified characters.

And here, a similar one in regular characters:

Have fun.

After you've installed the fonts, and configured your browser to include
them and the encodings, you can still find that even though you don't set an
encoding to view a page, and there are no HTML tags forcing a page to
display a certain way, some unicode-enabled browsers automatically display
CJKV characters because the fonts themselves have unicode encoding
information built in. The following are all unicode characters encoded in
the decimal format, 一 is the CJK character for "one" and is
the Hakka pronoun for "I".

These give the majority of the characters found in all CJK locales from the
various encodings. The Extension A character from Unicode 3.0 added about
7000 to the earlier 20900 plus characters in Unicode 2.1.

If you want more obscure characters, or the ones in the recent Unicode 3.2
and later

http://www.dylanwhs.ukgateway.net/u-extb/index.html

The latter contains unicode encoded characters for the obscure characters
left in the Kangxi dictionary, plus other characters from other locales such
as Vietnamese chunom. If you don't have a font for these characters, you
won't be able to see them. Occasionally, one or two odd characters can be
seen which seem to come from one or another of the installed fonts you may
have in the Ext. B charts.
