系统软件中的汉字字符数据类型及多字符集支持功能

HANZI DATA TYPE AND MULTIPLE CHARACTER SET SUPPORT IN SYSTEM SOFTWARE

本文从目前汉字系统编码混乱这一事实出发,认为走出这一困境的根本出路,是对计算机软件进行更进一步的改造:首先,需要承认中国及世界上存在多个不同民族的字符集。进而,对程序设计语言而言,需要为汉字及其它民族文字,增加相应的字符数据类型;对信息系统而言,则是增加多字符集的支持能力。这种改造的后果,应是保证汉字信息交换码与处理码的统一。 本文以FORTRAN 语言为例,具体描述了程序设计语言在字符数据类型方面应进行的一些扩充。

In this paper the requirements for multi-kinds of character sets are presented. The solution for them is to add more character data types in programming Language or to add the facility of multiple character set support in system software. At last, the necessary extensions for programming language, using FORTRAN as an example, are discussed.
