Code Table East Asian Ideographs ('Han')

December 2007

This table contains 13,478 mappings of character encodings for East Asian ideographs from the East Asian Coded Character set (ANSI/NISO Z39.64, or "EACC", including 10 "Version J" additions that did not appear in the published standard) to character encodings in the Universal Character Set (UCS, ISO-IEC 10646)/Unicode. Character codes are given in hexadecimal notation. Each character is presented on a separate row. The first column contains the MARC-8 EACC 24-bit code (in hex), the second column contains the corresponding UCS/Unicode 16-bit code (in hex), the third column contains the UTF-8 code (in hex) for the UCS character, the fourth column contains a representation of the character (where possible), the fifth column contains a character name or description. Most East Asian ideographs are not given unique names in the MARC-8 or UCS/Unicode. The characters in this table are sorted in EACC character code order.

Not all characters display in all browsers. We have attempted to allow for font families that show each character set, but you must have one of these fonts on your computer. See the W3C site for a discussion of fonts: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/fonts.html#generic-font-families.
