Easy Character Set Switching

Solaris WangMa Wubi divides the GB18030-2000 character set into smaller sets of commonly used Chinese characters.

• GB2312, which contains 6,763 characters

• GBK, which contains 21,003 characters

• GB18030-2000, which contains 27,533 characters

When you enter text, you can use the following keyboard shortcuts to switch between character sets.

• To use the GB2312 character set, press Control-Shift-1.

• To use the GBK character set, press Control-Shift-2.

• To use the GB18030-2000 character set, press Control-Shift-3.

Because GB18030-2000 is a relatively new standard, support in Wubi for the GB2312 and GBK character sets ensures backward-compatibility with earlier standards. You might prefer to work in the GB2312 or GBK character set because of improved performance and lower repetition rates.
