41=head1 NOTES
42
43Due to size concerns, C<EUC-TW> (Extended Unix Character) and C<BIG5PLUS>
44(CMEX's Big5+) are distributed separately on CPAN, under the name
45L<Encode::HanExtra>. That module also contains extra China-based encodings.
46
47=head1 BUGS
48
49The C<CNS11643> encoding files are not complete (only the first two planes,
50C<11643-1> and C<11643-2>, exist in the distribution). For common CNS11643
51manipulation, please use C<EUC-TW> in L<Encode::HanExtra>, which contains
52plane 1-7.
53
54ASCII part (0x00-0x7f) is preserved for all encodings, even though it
55conflicts with mappings by the Unicode Consortium. See
56
