    Assessment of Options for Handling Full Unicode Character Encodings in MARC21 a Study for the Library of Congress

    1 Assessment of Options for Handling Full Unicode Character Encodings in MARC21 A Study for the Library of Congress Part 1: New Scripts Jack Cain Senior Consultant Trylus Computing, Toronto 1 Purpose This assessment intends to study the issues and make recommendations on the possible expansion of the character set repertoire for bibliographic records in MARC21 format. 1.1 “Encoding Scheme” vs. “Repertoire” An encoding scheme contains codes by which characters are represented in computer memory. These codes are organized according to a certain methodology called an encoding scheme. The list of all characters so encoded is referred to as the “repertoire” of characters in the given encoding schemes. For example, ASCII is one encoding scheme, perhaps the one best known to the average non-technical person in North America. “A”, “B”, & “C” are three characters in the repertoire of this encoding scheme. These three characters are assigned encodings 41, 42 & 43 in ASCII (expressed here in hexadecimal). 1.2 MARC8 "MARC8" is the term commonly used to refer both to the encoding scheme and its repertoire as used in MARC records up to 1998. The ‘8’ refers to the fact that, unlike Unicode which is a multi-byte per character code set, the MARC8 encoding scheme is principally made up of multiple one byte tables in which each character is encoded using a single 8 bit byte. (It also includes the EACC set which actually uses fixed length 3 bytes per character.) (For details on MARC8 and its specifications see: http://www.loc.gov/marc/.) MARC8 was introduced around 1968 and was initially limited to essentially Latin script only.

    CJKV Unified Ideographs Extension C

    22nd International Unicode Conference (IUC22) Unicode and the Web: Evolution or Revolution? September 9 - 13, 2002, San Jose, California http://www.unicode.org/iuc/iuc22/ CJKV Unified Ideographs Extension C Richard S. COOK Linguistics Department University of California, Berkeley [email protected] http://stedt.berkeley.edu/ 2002-09-18-10:31 INTRODUCTION This presentation is concerned with introducing the audience to some of the issues surrounding Ideographic Rapporteur Group (ISO/IEC JTC1/SC2/WG2/IRG) work on “CJK Unified Ideographs Extension C” (Ext C), including the following: (1) The IRG methodology constraining glyph submissions for Ext C1 (why more Han characters and which?) (2) The method of preparing glyph submissions for the Unicode Technical Committee (UTC) (3) IRG member submissions for Ext C1, introducing some of the submitted glyphs, the print sources for the glyph submissions (4) The IRG process of submission evaluation (5) The impact of submitted glyphs on the “Han Variant” problem (see Cook, IUC-19) (6) Plans for Ext C2 UTC submissions 22nd International Unicode Conference1 San Jose, California, September 2002 CJKV Unified Ideographs Extension C BACKGROUND As many people already know, The Unicode Standard 3.2 is the best thing ever to happen to the digitization of Chinese texts. The immense work done to produce the CJKV1 part of this standard, undertaken by the Ideographic Rapporteur Group (IRG)2, has pushed CJKV computing to higher levels than many had ever thought possible. With the IRG’s creation of “Extension B”, 42,711 new characters were added to The Unicode Standard, so that it now encodes a total of 70,207 unique “ideographs”.3 The issue is somewhat complicated by things such as “compatibility characters which are not actually compatibility characters”.

The HKSCS-2001, HKSCS-2004 and HKSCS-2008 were published with 116, 123 and 68 new characters added respectively. A total of 5 009 characters were included in the HKSCS-2008. These publications formed the foundation for promoting the adoption of the ISO/IEC 10646 international coding standard, and were widely supported and adopted by the IT sector and members of the public. The ISO/IEC 10646 international coding standard is developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) to provide a common technical basis for the storage and exchange of electronic information.

The table is from Assembly Language Programming for the Control Data 6000 series and the Cyber 70 series by Grishman. C Strings • Usually implemented as a series of ASCII characters terminated by a null byte (0x00). • ″abc″ in memory is: n 0x61 n+1 0x62 n+2 0x63 n+3 0x00 Unicode • The space of values is divided into 17 planes. • Plane 0 is the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP). – Supports nearly all modern languages. – Encodings are 0x0000-0xFFFF. • Planes 1-16 are supplementary planes. – Supports historic scripts and special symbols. – Encodings are 0x10000-0x10FFFF. • Planes are divided into blocks. Unicode and ASCII • ASCII is the bottom block in the BMP, known as the Basic Latin block. • So ASCII values are embedded “as is” into Unicode. • i.e. 'a' is 0x61 in ASCII and 0x0061 in Unicode. Special Encodings • The Byte-Order Mark (BOM) is used to signal endian-ness. • Has no other meaning (i.e. usually ignored). • Encoded as 0xFEFF. • 0xFFFE is a noncharacter. – Cannot appear in any exchange of Unicode. • So file can be started with a BOM; the reader can then know the endian-ness of the file. • In absence of a BOM, Big Endian is assumed. Other Noncharacters • There are a total of 66 noncharacters: – 0xFFFE and 0xFFFF of the BMP – 0x1FFFE and 0x1FFFF of plane 1 – 0x2FFFE and 0x2FFFF of plane 2 – etc., up to – 0x10FFFE and 0x10FFFF of plane 16 – Also 0xFDD0-0xFDEF of the BMP.
