摘要藏文软件开发者在现代计算机系统中处理藏文数据时必须所具备的知识之一是藏文在通用字符集(Universal Character Set, UCS)中是如何进行编码。在设计藏文网页内容时UCS藏文数据的整理、设计藏文应用软件时藏文文本的处理操作或者在设计藏文OpenType或AAT字库时、UCS藏文编码模式应用等都要首先去理解UCS藏文编码模式。因此,理解和掌握UCS藏文编码模式是软件制作商首选目标。详细介绍了UCS藏文编码模式的组织结构和设计方法,以便于使用OpenType来支持复杂藏文文本的显示。
Abstract:It’s necessary for the developers of Tibetan software to know how do encode Tibetan in UCS when processing Tibetan data. Understanding the UCS Tibetan encoding system must come before reorganizing UCS Tibetan data when designing Tibetan websites, processing Tibetan text, developing Tibetan application software, or designing OpenType or AAT fonts. To facilitating the understanding of the UCS Tibetan encoding system, this article explains in detail the organizational structure and design methods of UCS Tibetan encoding system, so that the Open Type can be applied to display complex Tibetan documents.
