- • Standard character encoding adhering to GB 18030 standards
- • Used by over 1.3 billion consumers and enterprise enterprises
Traditional Chinese (繁體中文)
Standard in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macau. Preserves historical character strokes with distinct regional legal conventions between Hong Kong Common Law and Taiwan civil codes.

- • Distinct legal and commercial terminology tailored for Taiwan
- • High emotional resonance for established overseas Chinese diaspora
