A Chinese language card or Chinese character card is a computer expansion card that improves the ability of computers to process Chinese text. Early computers were limited in processing speed and storage capacity. If a software like CC-DOS or zh:UCDOS is being used to render Chinese characters, the Chinese font could take up to 1/3 of RAM, making it impossible to execute large programs. Moreover, Chinese rendering via software must go through the BIOS, so that the speed is as slow as dozens of characters per second.

dbo:abstract
  • A Chinese language card or Chinese character card is a computer expansion card that improves the ability of computers to process Chinese text. Early computers were limited in processing speed and storage capacity. If a software like CC-DOS or zh:UCDOS is being used to render Chinese characters, the Chinese font could take up to 1/3 of RAM, making it impossible to execute large programs. Moreover, Chinese rendering via software must go through the BIOS, so that the speed is as slow as dozens of characters per second. Using a Chinese Character card could improve the computer's ability to process Chinese text. The card has a Chinese font burnt on its ROM chip, so that the font no longer takes up computer RAM. It takes internal codes and directly renders the corresponding characters onto the screen, which works much faster than software-based rendering. (en)
  • 汉卡,又稱中文卡,是一种使個人電腦具有或者提高汉字处理能力的扩展卡。 早期的计算机运行速度缓慢,存储空间有限,对汉字的处理能力十分有限。将汉字输入法、汉字字库存储于固化芯片中的汉卡可有效提高计算机的中文处理能力。 1990年代初期,中國大陸常见的汉卡厂商有:联想、方正、巨人等;台灣則以開發倚天中文系統的倚天資訊為主要的中文卡廠商,另外、華康(今 威鋒數位)等公司也曾推出中文卡產品。 随着计算机硬件的飞速发展,漢卡逐漸被軟體取代,現在已经很少有计算机使用汉卡来处理中文。在微軟視窗作業系統開始支援中文之後,汉卡基本上已经退出历史舞台。 (zh)
