TeX memo ― upTeX

upTeX, upLaTeX ― unicode version of pTeX, pLaTeX

Updated at 12 Mar 2009
[ Japanese ]

Abstract

I am developing a Unicode version of ASCII pTeX (a Japanese-localized TeX). I named it `upTeX', `upLaTeX'.
The character encoding for input and output is UTF-8. The upTeX treats codepoints under U+FFFF (BMP) as Hanzi,Kanji,Hanja/Kana/CJK symbol/Hangul (漢字,汉字/仮名/CJK記号/한글), and those over U+FFFF and under U+10FFFF (up to the maximum of Unicode) as Hanzi,Kanji,Hanja (漢字,汉字).
It can treat original LaTeX with \inputenc{utf8} and Babel (Latin/Cyrillic/Greek etc.) by switching \kcatcode. Moreover, it can also treat Chinese simplified, Chinese traditional, Japanese, and Korean simultaneously.

This package is based on Tsuchimura san's ptetex3 , UTF-8対応(3) , UTF-8対応(4) and UTF-8対応(5) . I thank Tsuchimura san.

Feature

High quality Japanese typesetting based on ASCII pTeX
Upper compatible with pTeX ― dviwares/macros/packages/environment for pTeX are available
Directly use of wider character set in Unicode with UTF-8
29 bit of internal CJK token (5 bit: kcatcode, 24 bit: charcode)
Typesetting Chinese/Japanese/Korean with TeX+Babel (Latin/Cyrillic/Greek etc.), simultaneously
Extended CJK character set ― CJK Ideograph Extension B is also OK
