From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (8 July 2008) [foldoc]:

  Vietnamese
  
     <human language> 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.
