Hi ,

In a HTML page encoded using "gb2312" character encoding ,
how to distinguish ASCII characters from gb2312 characters ?

In Big5 encoding the First byte of the two byte character always
starts with the bit '1' . This can be used to distinguish ASCII
characters
from BIG5 characters .

Whereas in Gb2312 I see that the First byte can have values of
ASCII characters ( e.g 0x2121 ) . When such a pattern occurs ,
how do i make out whether it is two ASCII bytes with values
0x21 OR one gb2312 character .

Regards ,

Viswanathan S
