+=head1 NAME
+
+Encode::CN - China-based Chinese Encodings
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ use Encode::CN;
+ $euc_cn = encode("euc-cn", $utf8);
+ $utf8 = encode("euc-cn", $euc_cn);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This module implements China-based Chinese charset encodings.
+Encodings supported are as follows.
+
+ euc-cn EUC (Extended Unix Character)
+ gb2312 The raw (low-bit) GB2312 character map
+ gb12345 Traditional chinese counterpart to GB2312 (raw)
+ iso-ir-165 GB2312 + GB6345 + GB8565 + additions
+ cp936 Code Page 936, also known as GBK (Extended GuoBiao)
+
+To find how to use this module in detail, see L<Encode>.
+
+=head1 NOTES
+
+Due to size concerns, C<GB 18030> (an extension to C<GBK>) is distributed
+separately on CPAN, under the name L<Encode::HanExtra>. That module
+also contains extra Taiwan-based encodings.
+
+=head1 BUGS
+
+The C<HZ> (Hanzi) escaped encoding is not supported.
+
+ASCII part (0x00-0x7f) is preserved for all encodings, even though it
+conflicts with mappings by the Unicode Consortium. See
+
+F<http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/unicode-symbols.html.en>
+
+to find why it is implemented that way.
