Three same characters have completely different
"internal codes" in two systems.
RELATIONSHIP - NONE
(Characters are listed by number of strokes)
HexaDecimal Code is imposed on arbitrarily to each character,
GB and Big-5 both. (each limited to its own selected ones)
Name or item in Chinese can
NOT be sorted, ranked, or searched.

Binary Code is imposed on arbitrarily to each character.
All kinds of possibly different writings, styles, ... are available
internationally, no ONE country can control the list.
Examples:
Alphabet
A 0000 0000 0100 0001
B 0000 0000 0100 0010
C 0000 0000 0100 0011

Chinese Character

Name or item in Chinese can
NOT be sorted, ranked, or searched.
Even use UNICODE as "internal code", |
Without another layer of INPUT CODE, unicode has no practical usage.
GBK or GeoStroke can be added as
INTERNAL CODE and INPUT CODE.
CheongChi, WuBi, ..., ZuYin, PinYin, GBK, or GeoStroke
can be added as INPUT CODE.

1. DISPLAY
When UNICODE is used, Chinese character is at
same footing as English alphabet, all 2 bytes,
consuming same amount of "computing resource"
when displayed on a screen.
2. COMPUTING
Chinese and English are approximately the same in computing.
Since some English words have more than 10 alphabets,
all 8-digit Chinese characters may have small advantage
when UNICODE is used.
3. TRANSMITTING
Chinese and English are roughly the same in hi-speed transmitting
when UNICODE is used, same reason as above.

RELATIONSHIP - Very Limited
Coded "simplified characters" are partly positioned in the series (list)
roughly according to "SOUND" (hi-freq-used characters),
partly positioned in the series according to "radical of character"
(rare-used characters).
Name or item in Chinese can |
Users will have great difficulties to use GBK
as an INPUT CODE,
using a long cross-reference list,
do it character by character?
SBSM : 6-digit Code More Character Codes allowed.
Characters' positioning (All arbitrarily?)
Used as an INPUT CODE (HOW ?)
GeoStroke :
8-digit Code A sufficient number of
Character Codes allowed.
RELATIONSHIP - The Numeric Code and Character
are closely tighted together, the
character itself can tell its own CODE when being seen.
Coded Simplified or Traditional Characters are
exactly positioned in the series
by strokes uniformly throughout the text.
