Only after unicode was widely used was the Vietnamese language standard brought to one level.<\/p>\n<p>Although UniKey still supports older encodings, you should\u00a0<em>Use unicode in all cases, only use other encodings when unicode cannot be used<\/em>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"div2\">\n<h3>2.1 A few things about unicode<\/h3>\n<p>Unicode is an international standard encoding that is designed to be used as a single encoding for all different languages in the world. In principle, Unicode also uses 2 bytes. Unlike Vietnam&#039;s 2-byte encodings, Unicode is an international standard. So Unikey has been and will be supported in operating systems and application programs.<\/p>\n<p>Although currently the number of applications that support Unicode is not many, the trend of using Unicode will increase. Unicode has been supported right from the core of the Windows NT operating system and now Windows 2000.<\/p>\n<p>Windows 9x systems also have support for Unicode, although it is not yet complete. Current popular programs that support Unicode include: Internet Explorer 5, Microsoft Outlook Express 5, Microsoft Office 97\/2000, Netscape 6...<\/p>\n<p>According to experts, Unicode appears to be a complete solution to the problem of Vietnamese encoding. Especially for Internet applications, the use of Vietnamese Unicode is increasingly more advantageous than other Vietnamese encodings.<\/p>\n<div class=\"div3\">\n<h4>2.1.1 Combination or pre-built?<\/h4>\n<p>Assembled and built-in Unicode are just two different forms of a common standard prescribed by the Unicode organization. These two forms are completely compatible with each other and can be used interchangeably.<\/p>\n<p>However, because most applications do not support unicode perfectly as recommended by Unicode, you need to consider carefully when deciding which format to use.<\/p>\n<p>Even Vietnamese experts have not yet agreed on which form to use. In the author&#039;s own opinion,\u00a0<em>From the perspective of a regular user, you should prioritize using built-in Unicode in every possible case<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Built-in Unicode is a safe choice and has the advantage of displaying well in all environments.<\/p>\n<p>In UniKey, the built-in unicode is abbreviated as\u00a0<em class=\"keytext\">Unicode<\/em>. Unicode combination is written as\u00a0<em class=\"keytext\">Composed Unicode (To hop)<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"div2\">\n<h3>2.2 Code table system in UniKey<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><em class=\"keytext\">Unicode<\/em>: builtin unicode.<\/li>\n<li><em class=\"keytext\">Composed Unicode<\/em>: unicode combination.<\/li>\n<li><em class=\"keytext\">ABC, VNI, VISCII, VPS, VIETWARE, BKHCM<\/em>: These are old encodings, which will gradually no longer be used.<\/li>\n<li><em class=\"keytext\">MS CP 1258<\/em>: Vietnamese code table specified by Microsoft. If you use this encoding in programs that support Microsoft&#039;s unicode such as Office, Outlook Express... it gives the same result as combined unicode.<\/li>\n<li><em class=\"keytext\">VIQR<\/em>: Actually, this is not a code table but just a &quot;rudimentary&quot; representation of Vietnamese through standard characters.

Different Vietnamese typing methods will prescribe different keystrokes for tone marks, caret marks and bracket marks.<\/p>\n<p>Although you can type the diacritic key right after the original letters, this can easily lead to inconsistent punctuation.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the word math can be written as math. With UniKey, you should type the mark at the end of the word and UniKey will always automatically place the correct mark on the necessary letter.<\/p>\n<p>The upper case state, usually depends on the state of the SHIFT and CAPS LOCK keys. With 1-byte encodings (TCVN 3, BK HCM1, VISCII, VPS), you must use uppercase fonts to get accented uppercase letters. With regular fonts, you can only type capital letters without capital letters: \u00c2, \u00e3, \u00ca, \u00d4, \u00d3, U, \u0110.<\/p>\n<p>You can use\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.unikey.org\/support\/ukmanual.html#maindlg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UniKey control panel<\/a>\u00a0to turn off the function of removing diacritics at the end of words.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"div2\">\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">3.2 TELEX typing method<\/h3>\n<table style=\"width: 99.8667%;\" border=\"1\">\n<caption><b>Table 1.\u00a0<\/b>Vietnamese typing keys of TELEX typing method<\/caption>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"width: 21.8174%;\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\" align=\"center\">Keys<\/th>\n<th style=\"width: 257.794%;\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\" align=\"center\">Sign<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 21.8174%;\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\" align=\"center\">S<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 257.794%;\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\" align=\"center\">Sharp<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 21.8174%;\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\" align=\"center\">f<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 257.794%;\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\" align=\"center\">Huyen<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 21.8174%;\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\" align=\"center\">r<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 257.794%;\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\" align=\"center\">Ask<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 21.8174%;\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\" align=\"center\">x<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 257.794%;\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\" align=\"center\">Fall<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 21.8174%;\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\" align=\"center\">j<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 257.794%;\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\" align=\"center\">Heavy<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 21.8174%;\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\" align=\"center\">z<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 257.794%;\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\" align=\"center\">Delete the set mark.

Only with characters in the ASCII code table. VIQR is now very commonly used in email exchange, because there is no need to add special Vietnamese fonts.<\/p>\n<p>The disadvantage of VIQR is that the text is relatively difficult to read. Although VIQR does not require any keyboard software, with UniKey you can type TELEX or VNI to get Vietnamese VIQR. That way you won&#039;t have to change your typing habits.<\/p>\n<p>To type VIQR, select the VIQR code table in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.unikey.org\/support\/ukmanual.html#maindlg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dashboard<\/a>\u00a0or in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.unikey.org\/support\/ukmanual.html#menu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">menu<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em class=\"keytext\">For example:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Type VIQR with TELEX:\u00a0<tt>Vietnamese<\/tt>\u00a0= tie^&#039;ng Vie^.t<\/li>\n<li>Type VIQR with VNI:\u00a0<tt>tie6ng1 Vie6t5<\/tt>\u00a0= tie^&#039;ng Vie^.t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"div2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<h3>3.6 Type Vietnamese together with other languages<\/h3>\n<p>When you often have to type Vietnamese mixed with English (or another language), you may feel inconvenient when some English words are misinterpreted as Vietnamese accents. To fix this while not having to frequently switch Vietnamese mode on and off, you can use\u00a0<em class=\"keytext\">double typing mechanism<\/em>. With this mechanism, if any character is interpreted as a Vietnamese accent, you just need to type that character one more time and UniKey will restore the character you need.<\/p>\n<p><em class=\"keytext\">For example:<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>TELEX type:\u00a0<tt>WWindows<\/tt>\u00a0=Windows, or\u00a0<tt>guitarr<\/tt>\u00a0= guitar<br \/>\nVNI type:\u00a0<tt>e11<\/tt> = e1<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>You can also use the CTRL key to tell UniKey not to punctuate previously typed letters.<\/p>\n<p><em class=\"keytext\">For example:<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>TELEX type:\u00a0<tt>a CTRL sk<\/tt>\u00a0= ask<br \/>\nVNI type:\u00a0<tt>a CTRL 8<\/tt> = a8<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"div1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<h2>4 Install UniKey<\/h2>\n<p>Unikey only includes a single EXE file, unikey.exe, so you do not need a separate installation program.
