In xc/registry under section 14 (FONT CHARSET (REGISTRY AND ENCODING)
NAMES) I see a number of Asian encodings listed with 'GR encoding' and
'GL encoding'. For example,
"GB2312.1980-0" [39],[12]
China (PRC) Hanzi, GL encoding
"GB2312.1980-1" [39]
(deprecated)
China (PRC) Hanzi, GR encoding
"JISX0208.1990-0" [71]
Japanese Graphic Character Set,
GL encoding
"JISX0208.1983-1" [40]
(deprecated)
Japanese Graphic Character Set,
GR encoding
What exactly is the difference between these encodings? And why do
the GR encodings seem to be deprecated frequently?
