When using 16-bit encoding, you must configure your webserver correctly, so
it sends the encoding in the Content-Type HTTP header (Content-Type:
text/html; coding=GB2312).

I don't know though, if GB2312 belongs to the widely supported encodings -
i.e. if there are browsers that do not support it.

What do you mean by 'character codes'?
