This results in records with different Chinese character encoding. Although INNOPAC system uses CCCII as the storage code which supports a larger repertoire of characters, most Hong Kong INNOPAC Libraries use Big5 for Chinese character input, and Big5 system is the most common Chinese character system on users’ computer. Before the implementation of Unicode port, INNOPAC only supplied Big5 port Webopac, users could only search with traditional characters. From year 2000, computer operating system supporting Unicode has started to prevail. As a result of the new change, it is not uncommon that three different encoding systems are being used in cataloguing inputting, memory storage and searching. In face of these challenges, the Hong Kong INNOPAC libraries worked together to study and resolve the Chinese character disparity issue. This paper provides a brief overview of the different Chinese character encoding systems; the data conversion project undertook at the Chinese University o
