Abstract

According to Unicode theory, this paper introduced a solution for developing international software based on Unicode. Firstly, multi-language support software system concept and main characteristics was presented. Secondly, Unicode basic concept was given. Thirdly, several type of character encoding were discussed, includes SBCS (Single-Byte Character Set), MBCS (Multi-Byte Character Set), and Unicode. Fourthly, the implementing software multi-language support based on Unicode was then explained in detail, such as defining a string, compiler settings and file storage, and bilingual GUI. Finally, it pointed out that based on Unicode to design the internationalization software will become a new trend in the industry.
