Move to Extended Unix coding?
- I disagree with the move - it appears that it is capitalised in most references. violet/riga (t) 19:31, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
"Coding"?
Can anyone give a reference to the name "Extended Unix Coding"? I have never heard of such a name; I have only heard of EUC being referring to "Extended Unix Code".
"Extended Unix Code" is also the form used by IBM, HP, SCO, Sun, etc. (as any quick Google search can confirm)—Wing 21:58, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
- Since no one has replied, I have moved the page. For reference (especially since I gave a very detailed reason that got truncated because it is too long), I am reproducing my reason for the move below:
- As far as I know (since the early 90's), EUC does not stand for "Extended Unix Coding" but rather "Extended Unix Code". If I google "Extended Unix Coding" and remove all the results that are copies of Wikipedia, only SCO and Apple are major Unix vendors who use "Extended Unix Coding", and SCO only uses it in the context "Extended Unix Coding Supplement" [which grammatically can mean: the supplement which supports the act of using "extended unix code"] and it also uses the spelling "Extended Unix Code" in other places. Apple is a new player (despite its NeXT lineage). This is in stark contrast with vendors using the spelling "Extended Unix Code" which include IBM, Sun, even SCO (outside the "Extended Unix Coding Supplement" context) and even Microsoft.
- Additional support for the move is that, when you google “"extended unix" euc” and restrict by "site:" to domains gov.hk. gov.tw, go.jp, edu.cn, edu.hk, edu.tw, ac.jp, or ac.kr (i.e., all government and university sites in regions actually using this encoding system), one finds overwhelming use of the use of the spelling "extended unix code".
- I firmly believe that the spelling "Extended Unix Coding", as main entry, is wrong and should be corrected.
