Yet, the legacy encodings still dominate Chinese computing. On the other hand, the latest world-wide standard, Unicode, has provided code pages for each separately so that a single font can contain both sets of characters. However, neither the Big5 nor the GB encoding scheme can handle both Traditional and Simplified Chinese characters. GB is usually used for Simplified Chinese that is the standard for mainland China. Big5 is used mainly for Traditional Chinese characters and is widely used in Taiwan and Hong Kong. (As the Chinese characters are intimately related to the Japanese and Korean characters, the common character set for these three languages is often called CJK.) The two legacy encodings are Big5 and Guobiao (abbreviated GB). There are three major encodings for Chinese fonts, two legacy encodings and Unicode.
