+=head1 NAME
+
+Encode::TW - Taiwan-based Chinese Encodings
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ use Encode qw/encode decode/;
+ $big5 = encode("big5", $utf8); # loads Encode::TW implicitly
+ $utf8 = decode("big5", $big5); # ditto
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This module implements Taiwan-based Chinese charset encodings.
+Encodings supported are as follows.
+
+ Canonical Alias Description
+ --------------------------------------------------------------------
+ big5 /\bbig-?5$/i The original Big5 encoding
+ big5-hkscs /\bbig5-hk(scs)?$/i
+ Big5 plus Cantonese characters in
+ Hong Kong
+ cp950 Code Page 950
+ (Big5 + Microsoft vendor mappings)
+ --------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+To find how to use this module in detail, see L<Encode>.
+
+=head1 NOTES
+
+Due to size concerns, C<EUC-TW> (Extended Unix Character) and C<BIG5PLUS>
+(CMEX's Big5+) are distributed separately on CPAN, under the name
+L<Encode::HanExtra>. That module also contains extra China-based encodings.
+
+=head1 BUGS
+
+The C<CNS11643> encoding files are not complete (only the first two planes,
+C<11643-1> and C<11643-2>, exist in the distribution). For common CNS11643
+manipulation, please use C<EUC-TW> in L<Encode::HanExtra>, which contains
+plane 1-7.
+
+ASCII part (0x00-0x7f) is preserved for all encodings, even though it
+conflicts with mappings by the Unicode Consortium. See
+
+L<http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/unicode-symbols.html.en>
+
+to find why it is implemented that way.
