Chapter 744 New Plan
“According to Ren Fang’s "Shu Yi Ji", the land dwelling is called Xiong, and the water dwelling is called Neng. It can also remind us of another legend."
" Legend has it that Dayu was controlling floods and married Tushan. He erected a drum at the construction site and asked Tushan to bring food when he heard the sound of the drum."
"After that, Dayu transformed into a big bear and opened the mountains. But one day he was too engrossed in his work and the flying stones hit the drum, but Dayu didn't notice."
"Tushan heard this The meal was delivered by the sound of drums, and it was discovered that the husband was actually a big bear. He was so frightened that he turned into a stone statue. "
"Dayu was extremely sad and told the stone statue that you could turn into a stone statue and leave your son to me."
"After saying that, the belly of the stone statue suddenly opened and a child fell out of the stone statue. This is' The origin of the name "Qi'"
This series of stories and knowledge made the big guys in the computer department across the street very interested. Then Zhou Zhi said: "Does this legend also mean that, Dayu also inherited Gun's ability and could transform into a bear or a bear (ni)? "
"Did Dayu finally decide to break the abdication system and pass on the world because he felt his father's miserable fate? He killed his own son? "
"Can it be regarded as a side evidence to prove that the legend of Dayu's flood control occurred in the era of tribal alliances when pottery, stone and bone tools were used together? "
"So everyone, look, if these two rare words Xiong (Ni) and (Bone System) really disappear, will it lead to the loss of some information about the Chinese civilization mentioned above? Will there be some unanswerable mysteries in the future? ? Will it cause confusion to our descendants? ”
“It was because in the past? Due to limited conditions, the education level of the Chinese people is not high, and rapid popularization of writing and eradication of illiteracy is a top priority, so the implementation of simplified characters will also play a huge role."
"But if. Now that the conditions have clearly allowed it, if we had the opportunity to transfer all the documents The words have been collected and recorded, but we are still indifferent. Will it be a regret in the future to let these words disappear in the long river of history without leaving them to our descendants? ”
"If our descendants no longer know Xiong (Ni) because of us, (bone) If the two words "Department" and the historical and cultural information contained in these two words are said to be..., should we be regarded as sinners of the nation? "
"Before the advent of information technology, there was the West. People believe that Chinese characters will disappear because of the birth of computer technology.”
"After our efforts, the GB2312 Chinese character encoding has proved to those people that they were pure nonsense before."
"And I think it is precisely because of the development of information technology that the problem of writing Chinese characters has been solved. For the problem of difficulty in memory, the promotion and application of Chinese characters may even bring about revolutionary changes.”
“GB. 2312 proves that we can do it, GB13000 proves that we can do better, so why don’t we strike while the iron is hot and just make it the best at once?”
“What does it mean to be the best? "Li Hongjiang no longer dares to look down upon the child in front of him. He really doesn't know these things contained in Chinese characters, or he doesn't pay attention to them at all.
This is also a common imagination in Chinese academic circles today. In the stage of crazy pursuit, how can one still dare to pursue perfection? It is sufficient at this stage, and solving current problems is already the highest goal of most science and engineering scholars.
"To achieve the ultimate means that the new font encoding must be fully compatible with history, fully collected at present, and expandable in the future." Zhou Zhi is not afraid at all: "Full compatibility with history means that the new font can be fully compatible GB2312 and GB13000 encoding. Text information that has been entered using these two encodings. The information can also be read completely with the new encoding. "
"The current full collection refers to the Chinese character symbols we currently know, including the simplified Chinese characters of the mainland, the traditional Chinese characters of Baodao, Hong Kong, Macao, and Xindao. , as well as some Chinese characters used by the island countries, North Korea and South Korea, have all been adopted into the new coding system.” “In the future. Expandable means leaving enough redundant coding space for the font to prepare for the collection of more text symbols in the future. "Master Danzin just said that our country is multi-ethnic." Country and many ethnic groups have their own characters. These characters are also the treasures of our Chinese family. Treasure. ”
“Therefore, we must leave enough space for the expansion of this font library to include the characters of these ethnic minorities in the future.”
"This is my idea, about the Chinese standard large font library."
"Uh...Classmate Zhou Zhi." Li Hongjiang is also a bachelor: "I want to apologize to you, as well as to Master Gu and Master Danzeng. I did not realize the importance of this issue before."
< br>"But I have said before, GB13000 is designed according to ISO/IEC1064, and the general There are only more than 20,000 code points in the bit-coded character set. It is like a farm. There are only so many chicken cages. It really can’t hold as many chickens as you mentioned?”
“So this is too much? There is something wrong with the eight-bit coded character set and it is not suitable for China's needs, so why do we still make do with it?" Zhou Zhi asked.
“If you don’t use this one, then which one should you use?” Li Hongjiang didn’t think Zhou Zhi was making trouble unreasonably. Being able to ask questions is not a skill. The key is that after the problem is raised, you must be able to solve it. .
“Why not use UNICODE?”
"UNICODE?" Li Hongjiang thought for a moment: "The eight characters of UNICODE haven't been written yet, right? The international standards haven't come out yet, where do we get the reference?"
The Chinese translation of Unicode is called Unicode, also called Universal Code. Code, single code, is an industry standard in the field of computer science developed by the Unicode Alliance, which mainly includes character sets and encoding schemes.
Unicode was created to solve the limitations of traditional character encoding schemes. It sets a unified and unique binary encoding for each character in each language to meet cross-language and cross-platform requirements. Requirements for text conversion and processing.
The original purpose of Unicode design was to create a character encoding scheme that could accommodate all texts and symbols in the world.
The design idea is to use the numbers 0-0x10FFFF to map all characters, which can accommodate up to 1114112 characters, or 1114112 code points.
The UTF-8, UTF-16, and UTF-32 that everyone is familiar with in later generations are actually encoding schemes that convert numbers into program data.
Of course, these code points are not used casually, but specify intervals. For example, the interval used for Chinese characters in the previous life was 3400-4DBF, 4E00-9FFF, and 20000-3FFFF, which is called: Zhong Japan, Korea and Vietnam unified the ideographic character range.
There are more than one million code points, which is more than enough to hold all Chinese characters.
Because there is no upper limit, UTF can theoretically continue to expand.
Of course, judging from the experience of the previous life, this is not necessary at all, it is enough.
