概要

論文の詳細を見る
Researches on the scripts all over the world have revealed the finite mapping patterns among a codepoint, a glyph, and a character. Information contained under the traditional name of Orthography is found to be classified into sub-categories, one of which is Writing Convention, information to determine a final glyph. Text Processing has been generalized to be the Basic Text Manipulation as far as truly language/codeset/fontset independent manipulations are concerned, as deletion, insertion, search, line separation and displaying and pointing characters. The process unit has been normalized as one character, our WC codepoint. Each manipulation is realized with the language/codeset/fontset independent operating functions. More advanced language/codeset/fontset dependent text processing like natural language processing or parsing, is analyzed to uti1ize more flexible unit defined as TMC (Text Manipulation Code)[2]. Such specific information is stored in TMC bitfield, which has been designed as customizable according to its users' requirements and needs.
