24

31=head1 NOTES
32
33Due to size concerns, C<EUC-TW> (Extended Unix Character) and C<BIG5PLUS>
34(CMEX's Big5+) are distributed separately on CPAN, under the name
35L<Encode::HanExtra>. That module also contains extra China-based encodings.
36
37=head1 BUGS
38
39The C<CNS11643> encoding files are not complete (only the first two planes,
40C<11643-1> and C<11643-2>, exist in the distribution). For common CNS11643
41manipulation, please use C<EUC-TW> in L<Encode::HanExtra>, which contains
42plane 1-7.
43
44ASCII part (0x00-0x7f) is preserved for all encodings, even though it
45conflicts with mappings by the Unicode Consortium. See
46
47F<http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/unicode-symbols.html.en>
48
49to find why it is implemented that way.
