Description:
Using /usr/bin/telnet in "8-bit environment", for example, BIG5-
encoding Chinese characters environment in Taiwan, is somewhat in-convenient.
To be able to input Chinese characters, "-8 or -L" options are needed,
however, using these options cause another problem. Specifying "-8 or -L"
makes ^U or ^C or ^D or ... (any isprint(c)) malfunction when telnet to SunOS.
How-To-Repeat:
/usr/bin/telnet -8 ms1.hinet.net (ms1.hinet.net running Solaris)
login: abcde^U (or just press Enter)
=> the terminal state goes wrong, "reset" is needed to go back
to "normal state"
Fix:
Apply the following patch:
gopher://freebsd.csie.nctu.edu.tw/00%2f3%2fA0002063
This make telnet "8-bit clean", being able to input 8-bit data (Chinese
characters) without specifying "-8 or -L" options, and telnet to SunOS
without trouble.

Muni finds the Unicode value of the 7773 Chinese characters listed in Matthews'
Chinese-English Dictionary.
You enter the character number found in the dictionary, and it will give
you the corresponding Unicode mapping, or tell you when no such mapping has
been defined.
Rather than just entering the number, you can type in a query, for example:
% muni
: What is Unicode mapping for "Yung", listed in Matthews' Dictionary
: as character 7589?
- Matthews(7589) = U+6C38
: Thank you. How about 3268, Matthews' number for "Kang"?
- Matthews(3268) = U+525B
: Thank you, Mr. Computer.
: ^D

GB2JIS converts GB2312-80 and GB8565-88 characters to
JISX0208-1983 and JISX0212-1990 characters. GB2312-80
(^[$A), GB2312-80 + GB8565-88 (^[$(E), and Chinese-EUC
(8-bit GuoBiao) are available for Hanzi code.
GB2PS converts Chinese GB (simple) encoded text to PostScript.
It automatically supports the HZ encoding. It even allows you to mix
GB and HZ code together.
Examples:
input: gb2ps -h
output: the usage of GB2PS
input: gb2ps cm9203d.gb cm
output: PS programs cm
input: gb2ps -b 3 -e 5 cm9208a.hz cm
output: PS program cm from page 3 to page 5.
then you can print out the Chinese document by sending the PS output
to your PS printer.
