9/15    Does anyone know how to use the "Chinese (Hong Kong S.A.R.)" input
        language in XP?  When I tried to add it in Control Panel, there are two
        options under "Keyboard layout/IME".  One is "Chinese (Simplified) - US
        Keyboard" and the other is "Chinese (Traditional) - US Keybard".  I
        tried both, but I can't figure out how to enter any Chinese characters
        in either layout.  No matter what keys I press, it still gives me
        English characters.  Entering Chinese characters in "Chinese (PRC)" and
        "Chinese (Taiwan)" works fine on my XP, but I want to use Cantonese
        phonetic.  TIA.
        \_ I use a Tablet PC, it's more natural and easier.
           \_ But I only have a desktop PC running XP Pro SP2.
        \_ You need to provide more information, son.
           1. You need to decide what encoding you are going to use.
              Most people in Hong Kong uses Traditional Chinese and
              Big 5+HK extension internally.
           2. Assuming you are using T.Chinese + Big5, you simply
              get this package:
              http://www.microsoft.com/hk/hkscs/default.aspx
           3. If that package didn't work, then, you need to look for
              IME specific to Hong Kong.
           If you have more questions regards to CJK issues, email me.

Chinese processing in Hong Kong is getting more extensive and due to the specific need of the unique Hong Kong characters, the Hong Kong SAR Gove rnment has defined the Hong Kong Supplementary Character Set, or "HKSCS" . The HKSCS is a supplementary character set that includes Chinese chara cters used in Hong Kong but are not contained in the Big-5 standard char acter set. There are two code allocation schemes for the HKSCS, one for Big-5 and the other for ISO 10646/Unicode. And the HKSCS is formerly nam ed as "Government Chinese Characters Set" ie GCCS. Microsoft is dedicated to making technology more accessible to users arou nd the world and is committed to provide Unicode-based solutions that su pport Hong Kong-specific Chinese language requirements. The Windows XP p latform continues to enhance Chinese-language computing by providing sup port for the Hong Kong Supplementary Character Set. This paper gives an in-depth technical details of HKSCS Support for Windo ws XP Platform, customers are recommended to read this paper if they wis h to deploy HKSCS patch provided here. Please note that: * This package can be installed on any language edition of Windows 2000 and Windows XP only. Installing this package may affect private use characters on the target machine. The package is compatible to the previous version of HKSCS. Non HKSCS users are strongly discouraged to install the package. Other HKSCS packages might conflict with these settings. Please consult with the vendors first regarding the compatibility with this package. Uninstall restores the 950 code page behavior but doesn't delete all the files.
