.PP \fC#include \fR .PP Inherits TQTextCodec. .PP Inherited by TQGbkCodec and TQGb2312Codec. .PP .SH DESCRIPTION The TQGb18030Codec class provides conversion to and from the Chinese GB18030/GBK/GB2312 encoding. .PP GBK, formally the Chinese Internal Code Specification, is a commonly used extension of GB 2312-80. Microsoft Windows uses it under the name codepage 936. .PP GBK has been superceded by the new Chinese national standard GB 18030-2000, which added a 4-byte encoding while remaining compatible with GB2312 and GBK. The new GB 18030-2000 may be described as a special encoding of Unicode 3.x and ISO-10646-1. .PP Special thanks to charset gurus Markus Scherer (IBM), Dirk Meyer (Adobe Systems) and Ken Lunde (Adobe Systems) for publishing an excellent GB 18030-2000 summary and specification on the Internet.

They may also be reached at Yu Mingjian , Chen Xiangyang .PP The GB18030 codec TQt functions were contributed to TQt by James Su , who pioneered much of GB18030 development on GNU/Linux systems. .PP The GB18030 codec was contributed to TQt by Anthony Fok , using a Perl script to generate C++ tables from gb-18030-2000.xml while merging contributions from James Su, Justin Yu and Sean Chen.
