22 This module implements Taiwan-based Chinese charset encodings.
23 Encodings supported are as follows.
25 Canonical Alias Description
26 --------------------------------------------------------------------
27 big5 /big-?5$/i The original Big5 encoding
28 big5-hkscs /big5-hk(scs)?$/i Big5 plus Cantonese characters in
31 (Big5 + Microsoft vendor mappings)
32 --------------------------------------------------------------------
34 To find how to use this module in detail, see L<Encode>.
38 Due to size concerns, C<EUC-TW> (Extended Unix Character) and C<BIG5PLUS>
39 (CMEX's Big5+) are distributed separately on CPAN, under the name
40 L<Encode::HanExtra>. That module also contains extra China-based encodings.
44 The C<CNS11643> encoding files are not complete (only the first two planes,
45 C<11643-1> and C<11643-2>, exist in the distribution). For common CNS11643
46 manipulation, please use C<EUC-TW> in L<Encode::HanExtra>, which contains
49 ASCII part (0x00-0x7f) is preserved for all encodings, even though it
50 conflicts with mappings by the Unicode Consortium. See
52 F<http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/unicode-symbols.html.en>
54 to find why it is implemented that way.
