Does anyone here know? I don't know about work about that but I think supporting wubi in Emacs is very important. When I visited Beijing this March, I found that most of books about Chinese input method were about wubi. > Cheers > [1] I think there's mention about the table data originating from the > cxterm project at: > http://daiyuwen.freeshell.org/gb/wubi/wubi.html > but I'm not confident of my interpretation of the supposedly relevant > text (within the first few paragraphs). As I can't read Chinese, I can't tell anything about that. If you translate it (the part mentioning copyright) in English and send to RMS , he'll decide whether we can use there data or not. If you find a clearly free Wubi table, please let me know. I'll implement Wubi input method based on it (provided that we need only table lookup). --- Ken'ichi HANDA handa@m17n.org
