KembaraXtra-Computer Terms – Big 5:


Big 5 is a character encoding system used for representing Traditional Chinese characters in computer systems. It allows computers to store and display Chinese text by assigning numeric codes to thousands of Chinese characters used in written communication.


This encoding system was widely used in regions that rely on Traditional Chinese writing systems, such as Taiwan and Hong Kong. It enabled computers to handle complex character sets long before the widespread adoption of universal encoding standards.
