zhCNHans

zhCNHans refers to the language code for Simplified Chinese as used in mainland China. It is part of the ISO 639-1 standard, which is a system of two-letter codes for representing languages. The 'zh' prefix indicates the language is Chinese, and 'CN' signifies China. 'Hans' stands for Han characters, distinguishing it from Traditional Chinese characters. This code is widely used in computing, web development, and software localization to identify and categorize content written in Simplified Chinese. Simplified Chinese characters were introduced in the People's Republic of China in the 1950s to promote literacy. They feature fewer strokes and simpler forms compared to their traditional counterparts. The zhCNHans code ensures that digital systems correctly display and process text in this specific variant of the Chinese language, facilitating international communication and information exchange.
