From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [foldoc]:

  Vietnamese
       
           An Asian language that, like other {CJKV}
          languages, requires 16-bit {character encodings} but, unlike
          them, does not use {Han characters}.
       
          While normal Vietnamese has not used Han characters since the
          18th century, the {standards} {TCVN 5773} and {TCVN 6056}
          contain Han characters and may be used by computers and
          academics.
