Chinese Commercial Code (CCC) / Chinese Telegraph Code (CTC)
NJStar Software Corp, Sydney, Australia.
Self-description:
"CCC - Chinese Commercial Code also called Chinese Telegraph Code (CTC). CCC was used in the old days for transmitting Chinese text over Electronic Telegraph/Cable. With the advance in computer communications, there is little need to use CCC/CTC for communicating in Chinese. But for non-Chinese speeking countries, there is still a need to identify a Chinese person's name without using Chinese Characters. CCC has been used by those countries in visa and immigration applications. We provided this lookup utility here for your convenience. The data for the lookup are sourced from unihan.txt of www.unicode.org. For more information on the history of CTC, please read Jim Reeds' CTC page [www.njstar.com/tools/telecode/jim-reeds-ctc.htm]."
