26 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
27 | |
0ab8f81e |
28 | This module implements tradition Chinese charset encodings as used |
29 | in Taiwan and Hong Kong. |
b2729934 |
30 | Encodings supported are as follows. |

45 | =head1 NOTES |
46 | |
85982a32 |
47 | Due to size concerns, C<EUC-TW> (Extended Unix Character), C<CCCII> |
b0b300a3 |
48 | (Chinese Character Code for Information Interchange), C<BIG5PLUS> |
49 | (CMEX's Big5+) and C<BIG5EXT> (CMEX's Big5e) are distributed separately |
50 | on CPAN, under the name L<Encode::HanExtra>. That module also contains |
51 | extra China-based encodings. |

52 | |
53 | =head1 BUGS |
54 | |
b0b300a3 |
55 | Since the original C<big5> encoding (1984) is not supported anywhere |
56 | (glibc and DOS-based systems uses C<big5> to mean C<big5-eten>; Microsoft |
0ab8f81e |
57 | uses C<big5> to mean C<cp950>), a conscious decision was made to alias |
b0b300a3 |
58 | C<big5> to C<big5-eten>, which is the de facto superset of the original |
59 | big5. |
60 | |
85982a32 |
61 | The C<CNS11643> encoding files are not complete. For common C<CNS11643> |
b2729934 |
62 | manipulation, please use C<EUC-TW> in L<Encode::HanExtra>, which contains |
0ab8f81e |
63 | planes 1-7. |
b2729934 |
64 | |
0ab8f81e |
65 | The ASCII region (0x00-0x7f) is preserved for all encodings, even |
66 | though this conflicts with mappings by the Unicode Consortium. See |
