52 =head1 NOTES
53
54 Due to size concerns, C<GB 18030> (an extension to C<GBK>) is distributed
55 separately on CPAN, under the name L<Encode::HanExtra>. That module
56 also contains extra Taiwan-based encodings.
57
58 =head1 BUGS
59
60 When you see C<charset=gb2312> on mails and web pages, they really
61 mean "euc-cn" encodings.  To fix that, gb2312 is aliased to euc-cn.  Use
62 gb2312-raw when you really mean it.
63
64 ASCII part (0x00-0x7f) is preserved for all encodings, even though it
65 conflicts with mappings by the Unicode Consortium.  See
66
67 L<http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/unicode-symbols.html.en>
68
69 to find why it is implemented that way.
