The CCITT Chinese Primary Set[2] is a multi-byte graphic character set for Chinese communications created for the Consultative Committee on International Telephone and Telegraph (CCITT) in 1992.[3] It is defined in ITU T.101, annex C, which codifies Data Syntax 2 Videotex.[2] It is registered with the ISO-IR registry for use with ISO/IEC 2022 as ISO-IR-165,[4] and encodable in the ISO-2022-CN-EXT code version.[1]

It is an extended modification of GB/T 2312-80, and corresponds to the union of the mainland Chinese GB standards GB 6345.1-86 and GB 8565.2-88, with some further modification and extensions. A subset of the GB 6345.1 extensions are incorporated into GB 18030, while GB 8565.2 serves as the mainland Chinese source reference for certain CJK Unified Ideographs.
