Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 1100 Vigilance
Zhou Zhi continued: "As for the 'Yanyin' of Goryeo and the 'Kana' of the island country, they themselves are pinyin symbols with a limited number of characters. Since they are not ideographic characters, they can be placed on the first plane of non-ideographic characters. go."

"No, no, no, we think it's better to put it in the ideographic area." Jin Chunyi said quickly: "Although it is called the ideographic area, in fact, according to the Six Books of Chinese Characters, pictograms are just one of them. There are also methods such as pictograph, transfer, and borrowing.”

"So saying it is an ideographic area is actually not accurate enough in itself. It is just a conventional term."

Although he was extremely reluctant to admit it, Jin Chunyi had to bring it up. Otherwise, relying on the limited dozen or so Chinese characters of Goryeo, even the reason for joining this project would be extremely far-fetched: "In addition, I want to explain that we, Japan and South Korea, , during the long historical period, there were also a large number of classics and documents written in Chinese characters."

"Therefore, we also hope to participate in the research and development of Hanwen's large character library. We not only have demand for the current legal Chinese characters, but also need to prepare for the digitization of historical documents in the future."

Zhou Zhi actually gave Jin Chunyi a high look and put down his position. This reason was at least quite sufficient, making it difficult for him to refuse.

However, so far in the discussion, no one has discovered that the representatives of the two countries have been transformed from "reasonable and aggressive" to "pitiful and asking for help" by Zhou Zhi.

"We can discuss these details slowly. They are only about two hundred characters in total and have nothing to do with the overall situation." Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "As Mr. Gu said just now, even the ancient classics of your two countries still follow the ancient Chinese language. habits and characters, we can treat it as a Chinese classic."

"So we only need to solve the original character part, and then work with our existing subsets to enrich and improve the region. From a technical perspective, is the problem solved?"

"This is indeed the simplest, fastest and most successful solution." Raimondo said.

He was determined to make amends with Zhou Zhi to prevent him from being accused.

And it is quite justified, because after giving up the intolerant position, this plan itself is the best plan.

"If this is the case...how can it be realized?" Matsui asked.

"We are going step by step." Zhou Zhi said seriously: "As for the idea proposed by China, do the two representatives think it is feasible?"

Of course it is feasible. Matsui Zou lamented in his heart. If China is willing to place its large character library in the "Chinese, Japanese and Korean Ideographic Region Subset", it will basically be able to get the overwhelming support in the organization.

After all, the [-] Chinese characters are not at the same level as the hundreds of independent Chinese characters in Japan and South Korea. If they do not agree with this, the organization will definitely be dissatisfied with the two countries and believe that their purpose is not cooperation, but obstruction.

Looking at Jin Chunyi, Matsui Zuo could only nod: "We think this idea has no major flaws, and the design feasibility... is the best."

"Okay." Zhou Zhi nodded: "Then at least we have made some gratifying progress in this meeting so far. Please Mr. Raimondo, please report to the organization after the meeting."

"OK." Raimundo was very happy. This was a credit in any case. Getting this positive result was enough to clear away the bad motives of his trip.

This is the reward you get from just bending your knees. Is there any reason not to hold on tightly?When things have evolved to this point, Jin Chunyi and Matsui Zuo can't immediately go back on their word. Raimondo pulled him in to stand up for him, but he didn't expect that the other party had a personal member to support him. The public relations fee they had given before seemed to be completed now. Roubaozi beat the dog.

"Then please tell me how to achieve it?" Matsui said very modestly.

"It's actually very simple to implement." Zhou Zhi said: "You only need to hand over the compilation logic and vector characters of JIS C 6226 and KS C 5601 to us. After we have eliminated the duplicate characters, we will use the unique characters in the two font libraries to Chinese characters can be stored in the existing regional character library according to the transcoding rules."

"These two fonts are our unique intellectual property rights." Jin Chunyi said: "If we want to open the licensing, China should also open up the intellectual property rights of Han Font Library in a reciprocal manner to achieve three-party sharing."

"Hahahaha..." Zhou Zhi was already amused by Jin Chunyi's shamelessness. The code point of KS C 5601 is not even a fraction of Hanwen Library, but he wants to participate in the project as an enemy, trying to eat the swan with a toad The meat is beyond description, and the tone is so loud that it swallows the sky: "Mr. Jin, more than 100 code points of your country's font have been added to the big area. It only takes one morning to get them together. Why don't you just sit back and enjoy the results?"

"No, no, no..." Jin Chunyi shook his head: "Our font library still has its own characteristics. It is a mixture of letters and ideograms. This is something that the Han font library does not have."

"What's the special feature of mixed coding? This is a bit nonsense." Zhou Zhi was no longer polite: "Since our Hanwen library is an important part of UNICODE encoding, of course it must be fully compatible with the existing UNICODE first plane. .”

"Since we are building a China-Japan-Korean ideographic region, we must not forget that this region is only a part of UNICODE."

"Therefore, our Han character library is naturally the same as the first plane ASCII character encoding and is part of UNICODE. When WINNT releases the Chinese version, there is no need to install the two separately."

"So we have already perfectly realized what Mr. Jin called 'special mixing'. Your mixing method, apart from providing algorithms that can speed up the storage efficiency, has no reference value for us."

"Being able to speed up the improvement of the writing area can be regarded as a contribution, right?" Matsui insisted: "Even if there are not many unique Chinese characters in Korean, the number of Japanese characters in our island country is considerable."

"I admit this." Zhou Zhi directly put Jin Chunyi aside and had a private conversation with Matsui Zou: "There is still a lot of work involved in warehousing Hezi, but we have perfected the development toolkit and only need you to provide the algorithm. and vector characters, we can complete the text warehousing work in a short time.”

After that, he added another weight: "If you are willing to provide the source code, we can work overtime and release it at the same time as the second phase of the Hanwen font!"

"It is neither reasonable nor appropriate for your country to complete the construction of the region alone without our two countries." Matsui Zou still insisted: "Even if we agree with Mr. Zhou's proposal, in terms of working methods, we must participate together. Come in and do our part.”

"If you agree to our participation in joint development, then we can express our position now. In principle, Japan and South Korea agree with the regional plan proposed by you, and also agree to provide the preparation rules, process documents, and vector fonts of the existing fonts of the two countries. , and even tool source code."

Is this complete surrender?Zhou Zhi was wary: "Joint development is just a statement of principle. What is the specific level of participation?"
