21
22This module implements Taiwan-based Chinese charset encodings.
23Encodings supported are as follows.

36=head1 NOTES
37
38Due to size concerns, C<EUC-TW> (Extended Unix Character) and C<BIG5PLUS>
39(CMEX's Big5+) are distributed separately on CPAN, under the name
40L<Encode::HanExtra>. That module also contains extra China-based encodings.
41
42=head1 BUGS
43
44The C<CNS11643> encoding files are not complete (only the first two planes,
45C<11643-1> and C<11643-2>, exist in the distribution). For common CNS11643
46manipulation, please use C<EUC-TW> in L<Encode::HanExtra>, which contains
47plane 1-7.
48
49ASCII part (0x00-0x7f) is preserved for all encodings, even though it
50conflicts with mappings by the Unicode Consortium. See

54to find why it is implemented that way.
