| Guideline C15
Ensure that the application addresses the government regulations of the countries or regions where it will be used. |
Example: The Government of the People's Republic of China recently introduced the GB18030 standard for the support of its national characters. This standard mandates that any new product released in China after January 1, 2001 must support the existing GBK character set plus 6582 Unicode Extension-A, plus 1,948 additional non-Han characters (Mongolian, Uygur, Tibetan, and Yi). The internal processing code for the character repertoire can (and should) be Unicode, however the standard stipulates that software providers must guarantee a successful round-trip between GB18030 and the internal processing code. |
