GB/T 2312-1980 is a key official character set of the People's Republic of China, used for Simplified Chinese characters. GB2312 is the registered internet name for EUC-CN, which is its usual encoded form. GB refers to the Guobiao standards (国家标准), whereas the T suffix (推荐; tuījiàn; 'recommendation') denotes a non-mandatory standard.^[1]

GB/T 2312-1980 was originally a mandatory national standard designated GB 2312-1980. However, following a National Standard Bulletin of the People's Republic of China in 2017, GB 2312 is no longer mandatory, and its standard code is modified to GB/T 2312-1980.^[2] GB/T 2312-1980 has been superseded by GBK and GB18030, which include additional characters, but GB/T 2312 remains in widespread use as a subset of those encodings.

As of August 2021, GB2312 is the most popular declared Chinese-specific encoding on the web, with 8.2% of web pages served from China and territories declaring it,^[3] or 0.1% of all web pages globally, a drop from 3.5% in January 2010.^[4] However, note that all major web browsers decode documents marked as e.g. "GB2312" or "GB 2312" (while not all for "GB_2312") as if it were marked "gbk",^[5] which is a superset encoding, and GB 2312 and GBK have a combined 10.6% share (or 0.2% globally).

There is an analogous character set known as GB/T 12345, closely related to GB/T 2312, but with traditional character forms replacing simplified forms, and some extra 62 supplemental characters.^[6]^[7] GB-encoded fonts often come in pairs, one with the GB/T 2312 (simplified) character set and the other with the GB/T 12345 (traditional) character set.

Characters[]

While GB/T 2312 covers over 99.99% contemporary Chinese text usage,^[8] historical texts and many names remain out of scope. Old GB 2312 standard includes 6,763 Chinese characters (on two levels: the first is arranged by reading, the second by radical then number of strokes), along with symbols and punctuation, Japanese kana, the Greek and Cyrillic alphabets, Zhuyin, and a double-byte set of Pinyin letters with tone marks. In later version GB/T 2312-1980, there are 7,445 letters.

Characters in GB/T 2312 are arranged in a 94x94 grid (as in ISO 2022), and the two-byte code point of each character is expressed in the kuten (or quwei) form, which specifies a row (ku or qu) and the position of the character within the row (cell, ten or wei).

The rows (numbered from 1 to 94) contain characters as follows:

01–09, comprising punctuation and other special characters; also Hiragana, Katakana, Greek, Cyrillic, Pinyin, Bopomofo
16–55, the first level of Chinese characters, arranged according to Pinyin. (3755 characters).
56–87, the second level of Chinese characters, arranged according to radical and strokes. (3008 characters).
88–89, further Chinese characters. (103 characters). Defined only for GB/T 12345, not GB/T 2312.

The rows 10–15 and 90–94 are unassigned.

For GB/T 2312-1980, it contains 682 signs and 6763 Chinese Characters.

Encodings of GB/T 2312[]

EUC-CN[]

EUC-CN is often used as the character encoding (i.e. for external storage) in programs that deal with GB/T 2312, thus maintaining compatibility with ASCII. Two bytes are used to represent every character not found in ASCII. The value of the first byte is from 0xA1–0xF7 (161–247), while the value of the second byte is from 0xA1–0xFE (161–254). Since all of these ranges are beyond ASCII, like UTF-8, it is possible to check if a byte is part of a multi-byte construct when using EUC-CN, but not if a byte is first or last.

Compared to UTF-8, GB2312 (whether native or encoded in EUC-CN) is more storage efficient: while UTF-8 uses three bytes^[a] per CJK ideograph, GB2312 only uses two. However, GB2312 does not cover as many ideographs as Unicode does.

To map the kuten code points to bytes, add 160 (0xA0) to the row number (ku, the 1000s and 100s place) of the code point to form the high byte, and add 160 to the column number (ten, the 10s and 1s place) of the code point to form the low byte.

For example, if you have the GB/T 2312 code point 4566 ("外",^[9] which means foreign), the high byte will use the row number 45: 45+160=205=0xCD, and the low byte will come from the column, 66: 66+160=212=0xE2. So, the full encoding is 0xCDE2.^[10]

HZ[]

HZ is another encoding of GB 2312 that is used mostly for Usenet postings.

Code charts[]

In the tables below, where a pair of hexadecimal numbers is given for a prefix byte or a coding byte, the smaller (with the eighth bit unset or unavailable) is used when encoded over GL (0x21-0x7E), as in ISO-2022-CN or HZ-GB-2312, and the larger (with the eighth bit set) is used in the more typical case of it being encoded over GR (0xA1-0xFE), as in EUC-CN, GBK or GB 18030. Qūwèi numbers are given in decimal.

When GB/T 2312 is encoded over GR, both bytes have the eighth bit set (i.e. are greater than 0x7F). GBK and GB 18030 also make use of two-byte codes in which only the first byte has the eighth bit set for extension purposes: such codes are outside of the GB/T 2312 plane, and are not tabulated here.

Lead byte[]

This chart details the overall layout of the main plane of the GB/T 2312 character set by lead byte. For lead bytes used for characters other than hanzi, links are provided to charts on this page listing the characters encoded under that lead byte. For lead bytes used for hanzi, links are provided to the appropriate section of Wiktionary's hanzi index.

Non-Hanzi rows[]

The following charts list the non-hanzi characters available in GB/T 2312, in GB/T 12345, and in double-byte region 1 of GB 18030 (which roughly corresponds to the non-hanzi region of GB/T 2312). Notes are made where these differ, and where GB 6345.1 and ISO-IR-165 differ from these. Cross-references are made to articles on other CJK national character sets for comparison.

Two implementations of GB2312[]

EUC-CN	GBK/GB18030 subset	GB2312.TXT	Character name^[11]^:3
A1A4	U+00B7 · MIDDLE DOT	U+30FB ・ KATAKANA MIDDLE DOT	间隔点; 'separator dot'
A1AA	U+2014 — EM DASH	U+2015 ― HORIZONTAL BAR	破折号; 'em dash'

Unicode mappings of the interpunct (Chinese: 间隔点; lit. 'separator dot') and em dash (Chinese: 破折号) in the subset of GBK and GB 18030 corresponding to GB/T 2312 (U+00B7 · MIDDLE DOT and U+2014 — EM DASH) differ from the those which are listed in GB2312.TXT (U+30FB ・ KATAKANA MIDDLE DOT and U+2015 ― HORIZONTAL BAR), which is a data file which was previously provided by the Unicode Consortium,^[12] although it has been designated as obsolete since August 2011^[13] and is no longer hosted as of September 2016.

As of 2015, Microsoft .Net Framework follows GB 18030 mappings when mapping those two characters in data labelled gb2312, whereas ICU,^[14] iconv-1.14,^[15] php-5.6, ActivePerl-5.20, Java 1.7 and Python 3.4^[16] follow GB2312.TXT in response to the gb2312 label. Ruby 2.2 is compatible with both implementations; it internally converts the conflictive characters to the GB 18030 subset. The W3C/WHATWG technical recommendation for use with HTML5 specifies a GBK encoding to be inferred for streams labelled gb2312, which in turn uses a GB18030 decoder.^[17]

Other differing mappings have been defined and used by individual vendors,^[12] including one from Apple.^[18]

When used in an encoding allowing combination with ASCII such as EUC-CN (and its superset GB 18030), these characters are usually implemented as fullwidth characters, hence mappings to the Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms block are used as shown below. GB 6345.1 also handles this row as fullwidth, and adds the halfwidth forms (as above) as row 10.^[1] Apple mostly maps this row to fullwidth code points as below, but uses non-fullwidth mappings for the overline and yuan sign as above.^[18]

Character set 0x26/0xA6 (row 6: Greek and vertical extensions)[]

This row contains basic support for the modern Greek alphabet, without diacritics or the final sigma.

The boxed characters are presentation forms of punctuation marks for vertical writing, and are not included in GB/T 2312 proper, but are included in this row by GB/T 12345,^[1]^[6] Mac OS Simplified Chinese,^[18] and GB 18030.^[19] They are seen as "standard extensions to GB 2312".^[18] Conversely, ISO-IR-165 includes patterned semigraphic characters in this row (mostly without exact counterparts in Unicode), colliding with the code positions used for the vertical extensions.^[24]

Compare with row 6 of JIS X 0208, which this row matches when the vertical forms are not included, and with row 6 of KPS 9566, which includes the same Greek letters in the same layout, but adds Roman numerals rather than vertical forms. Contrast row 5 of KS X 1001, which offsets the Greek letters to include the Roman numerals first.

Character set 0x28/0xA8 (row 8: zhuyin and non-ASCII pinyin)[]

This row contains bopomofo and pinyin characters, excluding ASCII letters (which are in row 3). Boxed characters are not in the base GB 2312 set but are added by GB 6345.1,^[18] and also included in GB/T 12345,^[1]^[6] Mac OS Simplified Chinese^[18] and GB 18030.^[19] They are seen as "standard extensions to GB 2312".^[18]

GB 6345.1 treats the pinyin in this row as fullwidth, and includes halfwidth counterparts as row 11;^[1] GB 18030 does not do this.

Inclusion of non-standard Simplified Chinese characters and Traditional Chinese characters[]

GB/T 2312 included 2 non-standard Simplified Chinese characters:

渖 (68–41): Simplified from “审[審]”, but the Complete List of Simplified Characters (Chinese: 简化字总表; pinyin: Jiǎnhuà Zì Zǒng Biǎo) has merged “瀋” with “沈”. Old versions of Xinhua Zidian (Chinese: 新华字典; pinyin: Xīnhuá Zìdiǎn) had included this word and noted as juice (Chinese: 汁; pinyin: zhì), new versions has cancelled this and merged “渖” with “沈”.^[27]
镟 (79–64): Simplified from “钅[釒]”, but the Complete List of Simplified Characters has merged “鏇” with “旋”.

GB/T 2312 also included 3 Traditional Chinese characters:

鍾 (79–81): The original document used the character “鍾” with traditional part, but the Complete List of Simplified Characters has merged “鍾” with “鐘” and simplified to “钟”, later templates changed the word to “锺”.^{[note 1]}
後 (65–65): The character as been merged with “后” (26-83) in the Complete List of Simplified Characters, and did not have any notes about unclear usage, but GB/T 2312 had included this character.^[28]
麴 (84–80): The original document used the character “麴” with traditional part, but the Complete List of Simplified Characters has stated that “麥” should be simplified to “麦”; the corresponding Simplified Chinese character “麹” was submitted to Unicode by Japan as Shinjitai “麹”. Complete List of Simplified Characters included “麹” on 2013:7748.

Corrections[]

GB 5007.1-85 24x24 Bitmap Font Set of Chinese Characters for Information Exchange (Chinese: 信息交换用汉字 24x24 点阵字模集) which is a font template based on GB/T 2312 has included a few corrections including:

changing the glyph shape of Latin alphabet "g"
adding 6 Hanyu Pinyin characters: ɑ, ḿ, ń, ň, ǹ, ɡ^{[note 2]}
changed “鍾” to “锺”, changed “麴” to “麹”
included 94 half-width glyphs in row 10 (half-width form of row 3, equivalent to GB 1988–80
included half-width form of 32 Hanyu Pinyin characters from row 8 in row 11.

GB/T 2312 did not have corrections, but these corrections are included in font templates that are based on GB/T 2312 including GB/T 12345; its supersets GBK and GB 18030 also included these corrections. GB/T 2312 is also used in ISO-IR-165.
