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