28 | ||
0ab8f81e JH |
29 | This module implements tradition Chinese charset encodings as used |
30 | in Taiwan and Hong Kong. | |
b2729934 JH |
31 | Encodings supported are as follows. |

48 | =head1 NOTES | |
49 | ||
85982a32 | 50 | Due to size concerns, C<EUC-TW> (Extended Unix Character), C<CCCII> |
b0b300a3 JH |
51 | (Chinese Character Code for Information Interchange), C<BIG5PLUS> |
52 | (CMEX's Big5+) and C<BIG5EXT> (CMEX's Big5e) are distributed separately | |
53 | on CPAN, under the name L<Encode::HanExtra>. That module also contains | |
54 | extra China-based encodings. | |

55 | |
56 | =head1 BUGS | |
57 | ||
b0b300a3 JH |
58 | Since the original C<big5> encoding (1984) is not supported anywhere |
59 | (glibc and DOS-based systems uses C<big5> to mean C<big5-eten>; Microsoft | |
0ab8f81e | 60 | uses C<big5> to mean C<cp950>), a conscious decision was made to alias |
b0b300a3 JH |
61 | C<big5> to C<big5-eten>, which is the de facto superset of the original |
62 | big5. | |
63 | ||
85982a32 | 64 | The C<CNS11643> encoding files are not complete. For common C<CNS11643> |
b2729934 | 65 | manipulation, please use C<EUC-TW> in L<Encode::HanExtra>, which contains |
0ab8f81e | 66 | planes 1-7. |
b2729934 | 67 | |
0ab8f81e | 68 | The ASCII region (0x00-0x7f) is preserved for all encodings, even |
b2deda17 | 69 | though this conflicts with mappings by the Unicode Consortium. |
