Hi all
I know that there is an Code that contains every usual character include
the chinese one. It was developt by the GMD (Gesellschaft fuer Mathematik und
Datenverabeitung) for the chinese/japanese version of there OS EUMEL in 85/86.
If one is interested in i'll try to get a file wich contains the definition
from GMD .(i only have a map with the chars )
