11 Encode::TW - Taiwan-based Chinese Encodings
16 $big5 = encode("big5", $utf8);
17 $utf8 = encode("big5", $big5);
21 This module implements Taiwan-based Chinese charset encodings.
22 Encodings supported are as follows.
24 big5 The original Big5 encoding
25 big5-hkscs Big5 plus Cantonese characters in Hong Kong
26 cp950 Code Page 950 (Big5 + Microsoft vendor mappings)
28 To find how to use this module in detail, see L<Encode>.
32 Due to size concerns, C<EUC-TW> (Extended Unix Character) and C<BIG5PLUS>
33 (CMEX's Big5+) are distributed separately on CPAN, under the name
34 L<Encode::HanExtra>. That module also contains extra China-based encodings.
38 The C<CNS11643> encoding files are not complete (only the first two planes,
39 C<11643-1> and C<11643-2>, exist in the distribution). For common CNS11643
40 manipulation, please use C<EUC-TW> in L<Encode::HanExtra>, which contains
43 ASCII part (0x00-0x7f) is preserved for all encodings, even though it
44 conflicts with mappings by the Unicode Consortium. See
46 F<http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/unicode-symbols.html.en>
48 to find why it is implemented that way.
