45 =head1 NOTES
46
47 Due to size concerns, C<GB 18030> (an extension to C<GBK>) is distributed
48 separately on CPAN, under the name L<Encode::HanExtra>. That module
49 also contains extra Taiwan-based encodings.
50
51 =head1 BUGS
52
53 ASCII part (0x00-0x7f) is preserved for all encodings, even though it
54 conflicts with mappings by the Unicode Consortium.  See
