Supplement Chinese Character Set for Buddhist Text
National Taiwan Univ., Taiwan
The problem of missing character ("gaiji" in Japanese) is always a severe one in
the process of electronizing Chinese Buddhist texts. Understanding the need for
a set of missing Chinese characters, The Center for Buddhist Studies
(http://ccbs.ntu.edu.tw/), National
Taiwan University, called a meeting last year to promote the making of
Chinese missing characters for Buddhist Texts. During the conference Dr. Hsueh
and his staff in Academia Sinica took the full responsibility to produce a set of
"Supplement Character Set for Buddhist Text" with the cooperation of many
other organizations, such as Fo-kung-san, Si-lien Monastery, Electronic Buddhadharma
Society (EBS), Taipei Youth Buddhist Association, etc.
After nearly 2 years' work, the "Supplement Character Set for Chinese
Buddhist Text" with 2037 missing Chinese characters (or gaiji in Japanese) finally
comes out. It contents a glyph data base that implements in IBM compatible PC with
Windows 3.1 operating system and with Chinese Extension (Taiwan Version).
Moreover, it is specially designed for the majority-use Big-5 Code.
