Std Telegraphic Codes

[tucsonjim]

I went to all the links listed below....

Here is an interactive search - key in the Chinese character and get the result:

http://www.tigtag.com/community/whatsnew.asp

 

I could only find all characters in my SO and step daughter's names in the 2nd link. Once I had the codes from there, I then looked up those numbers in the other links to cross check and had trouble doing that. The last link might be interactive if you can read Chinese... not much help to me.

 

Here is what I found from the 2nd link below: http://www.admissiontest.org/app/material/...20030419-56.htm

 

My SO: Ñî 2799 С 1420 Çà 7230

daughter: Ñî 2799 Ïô 5618 Ãú 6900

(preview seems to change the Chinese characters... not sure what will show up when I post this...)

 

When I looked up these codes in the first link, I couldn't verify all of them... 6900 was blank and 5618 had a diff character in it.... what's with that????? I used "find on page" function under Edit to search for the characters, using copy/paste from an email that my SO sent me with the Chinese names.... couldn't do that on the first link so just looked up the numbers I found from the 2nd link, since the table in the first link is in numerical order... on the 3rd and 4th links, I couldn't find some of the characters ... found a couple... 2799 and 1420 checked out ok... the other 3 is where I need some help.

 

Could someone please double check these for me? Since I can't read Chinese, there is probably something else I needed to do using the other links, so would appreciate any help from folks who can read Chinese or have experience with STC's. The 2nd link appears to be the only one that gave me STC's for all the characters I was trying to find and then I couldn't double check 3 of the characters in any other link... instead I found conflicting info between the first link and 2nd link, so I'm not sure which is right! In link #1, 6900 was blank and 5618 had a diff character in it... help!!!

You can use the Unihan Database to double-check PRC telegraph codes.

 

Unfortunately you can't look up directly by character, so you have to put the pinyin in the box, choose 'Mandarin' from the pulldown, and find the character in the list of characters with that pronunciation.

 

Your codes are correct:

http://www.unicode.org/cgi-bin/GetUnihanDa...8&useutf8=false

http://www.unicode.org/cgi-bin/GetUnihanDa...F&useutf8=false

http://www.unicode.org/cgi-bin/GetUnihanDa...2&useutf8=false

 

http://www.unicode.org/cgi-bin/GetUnihanDa...8&useutf8=false

http://www.unicode.org/cgi-bin/GetUnihanDa...7&useutf8=false

http://www.unicode.org/cgi-bin/GetUnihanDa...D&useutf8=false

 

 

I didn't check the sites, but I'm guessing the reason you couldn't find all of the characters at some sites is that they may be using the Taiwan codes instead of the PRC codes. The Taiwan codes wouldn't have simplified characters. Three of your five unique characters are simplified.

I checked them against my PDF copy of the codes, and they seem to match.

I still stand by the simplicity of the link in the FAQ:

 

http://www.6532.net/Sampleform/dianbao.htm

 

It's in chinese, but so intuitive that anyone should be able to do it.. Input the chinese character. The button under on the left will will submit it, the button on the right will clear the box.

 

Your characters check with this as well.

 

The Unihan database is interesting, but you've got to know your code first (?).. so only really a verification (and I've never seen this dianbao link not be reliable)... but I'll add that database link to the FAQ. Frank's PDF is already in it...

 

Edited: I see that you have to know the pinyin for the database... and can suffix it with the tone if known.. I found it a little hard to find on the eyes with the small characters and with so many returning, some close looking has to occur.

Thanks so much to each of you for helping check these codes for me!!! My SO does not seem to know how to do anything but basic email to me.... she had to have a niece come and help her download Yahoo messenger so we could chat online... I sent these links to her but she said she didn't know how to do it...

 

The explanation about Taiwan codes vs simplified characters makes good sense why I could not find them all on these links. I'm glad I could find all of them on link #2, but then got nervous when I couldn't verify them on any other link...

 

Thanks again very much for the help!!! I know I can always get quick expert help here!! CFL'ers are the best!!

Is this code something our SO needs to have?

[david_dawei]

P3:

1) U.S. Consulate General Guangzhou, China

Packet3 Supplemental Information Sheet

Item # 4 - Name of each applicant in Chinese Standard Telegraphic Code or Si Jiao Hao Ma (if you can provide)

 

P4:

1) GIV-24 , Family Composition Sheet , Q1.

2) The DS-156 "chinese version" does ask for the Telegraphic Code in block 6 (surname) and 7 (first and middle) ... you will see it as ~{VPND5gBk~}

David, I just now had a little time and tried your link and I like it the best! Very easy to put the characters in the box and get the codes instead of searching pages of characters and codes for those who don't know how to have the computer help them find the characters accurately. I found the links in the pinned section and didn't see this one in your FAQ's... if there is gong to be a pinned link for this topic in the links section, it would be nice to see only one or two choices at most mentioned, yours being #1. I think it is definitely the easiest for SO's or for dummies like me that can't read Chinese but are trying to help our SO's out.

 

Thanks much, I was easily able to verify the codes using this link!

I have left this simple link as the first one at the top of the FAQ section question on telegraphic codes.. and then put the PDF and database links at the very bottom of the section.. I guess we're thinking the same thing

Actually.. it was gathered the old fashioned way.. blood, sweat, post, and researched...

 

Here was the post that pushed me over the edge to pull it together.. and your post was the one that pushed me over the edge to organize all the areas and put it in the FAQ as shown above

 

 

DS 156 Telegraphic Code, name
