| 21 |
|
|---|
| 22 | use Encode qw/encode decode/;
|

| 26 | =head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|---|
| 27 |
|
|---|
| 28 | This module implements tradition Chinese charset encodings as used
|
|---|
| 29 | in Taiwan and Hong Kong.
|
|---|
| 30 | Encodings supported are as follows.

| 47 | =head1 NOTES
|
|---|
| 48 |
|
|---|
| 49 | Due to size concerns, C<EUC-TW> (Extended Unix Character), C<CCCII>
|
|---|
| 50 | (Chinese Character Code for Information Interchange), C<BIG5PLUS>
|
|---|
| 51 | (CMEX's Big5+) and C<BIG5EXT> (CMEX's Big5e) are distributed separately
|
|---|
| 52 | on CPAN, under the name L<Encode::HanExtra>. That module also contains
|
|---|
| 53 | extra China-based encodings.
|
|---|
| 54 |
|
|---|
| 55 | =head1 BUGS
|
|---|
| 56 |
|
|---|
| 57 | Since the original C<big5> encoding (1984) is not supported anywhere
|
|---|
| 58 | (glibc and DOS-based systems uses C<big5> to mean C<big5-eten>; Microsoft
|
|---|
| 59 | uses C<big5> to mean C<cp950>), a conscious decision was made to alias
|
|---|
| 60 | C<big5> to C<big5-eten>, which is the de facto superset of the original
|
|---|
| 61 | big5.
|
|---|
| 62 |
|
|---|
| 63 | The C<CNS11643> encoding files are not complete. For common C<CNS11643>
|
|---|
| 64 | manipulation, please use C<EUC-TW> in L<Encode::HanExtra>, which contains
|
|---|
| 65 | planes 1-7.
|
|---|
| 66 |
|
|---|
| 67 | The ASCII region (0x00-0x7f) is preserved for all encodings, even
|
|---|
| 68 | though this conflicts with mappings by the Unicode Consortium. See
|
|---|
| 69 |
|
|---|
| 70 | L<http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/unicode-symbols.html.en>
|
|---|
| 71 |
|
|---|
| 72 | to find out why it is implemented that way.
