<h3 class="section">7.8 Creating A New Character Set</h3>
<p>If there is not a standard character set for your language then you
can invent one. The new charset will only be used by Aspell
internally. If the option <samp>data-encoding</samp> is set to
‘<samp>utf-8</samp>’, and your current locale character type is always set to
‘<samp>utf-8</samp>’, then you can use UTF-8 for everything and not
worry yourself that an 8-bit character set is being used internally.
If your language has no more than 210 distinct symbols, including
different capitalizations and accents, then Aspell can support it.
</p>
<p>The first thing to do is to download the Aspell lang package
(see <a href="Creating-An-Official-Dictionary-Package.html#Creating-An-Official-Dictionary-Package">Creating An Official Dictionary Package</a>)
and check if one of the provided charsets in this package will suite
your needs. Non-standard character sets are provided for many scripts
and languages. If not, then see the included <samp>README</samp> file for
instructions on creating a new one. Version 0.1, and 0.2 of
mkchardata <em>will not</em> work as the format of the character data
file has changed.
