20 $big5 = encode("big5", $utf8);
21 $utf8 = encode("big5", $big5);
25 This module implements Taiwan-based Chinese charset encodings.
26 Encodings supported are as follows.
28 big5 The original Big5 encoding
29 big5-hkscs Big5 plus Cantonese characters in Hong Kong
30 cp950 Code Page 950 (Big5 + Microsoft vendor mappings)
32 To find how to use this module in detail, see L<Encode>.
36 Due to size concerns, C<EUC-TW> (Extended Unix Character) and C<BIG5PLUS>
37 (CMEX's Big5+) are distributed separately on CPAN, under the name
38 L<Encode::HanExtra>. That module also contains extra China-based encodings.
40 This module will automatically load L<Encode::HanExtra> if you have it on
45 The C<CNS11643> encoding files are not complete (only the first two planes,
46 C<11643-1> and C<11643-2>, exist in the distribution). For common CNS11643
47 manipulation, please use C<EUC-TW> in L<Encode::HanExtra>, which contains
50 ASCII part (0x00-0x7f) is preserved for all encodings, even though it
51 conflicts with mappings by the Unicode Consortium. See

55 to find why it is implemented that way.
