|

| 45 | The Big5 codec provides conversion to and from the Big5 encoding.
|
|---|
| 46 | The code was originally contributed by Ming-Che Chuang
|
|---|
| 47 | \<[email protected]\> for the Big-5+ encoding, and was
|
|---|
| 48 | included in Qt with the author's permission, and the grateful
|
|---|
| 49 | thanks of the Qt team. (Note: Ming-Che's code is QPL'd, as
|
|---|
| 50 | per an mail to [email protected].)
|
|---|
| 51 |
|
|---|
| 52 | However, since Big-5+ was never formally approved, and was never
|
|---|
| 53 | used by anyone, the Taiwan Free Software community and the Li18nux
|
|---|
| 54 | Big5 Standard Subgroup agree that the de-facto standard Big5-ETen
|
|---|
| 55 | (zh_TW.Big5 or zh_TW.TW-Big5) be used instead.
|
|---|
| 56 |
|
|---|
| 57 | The Big5 is currently implemented as a pure subset of the
|
|---|
| 58 | Big5-HKSCS codec, so more fine-tuning is needed to make it
|
|---|
| 59 | identical to the standard Big5 mapping as determined by
|
|---|
| 60 | Li18nux-Big5. See \l{http://www.autrijus.org/xml/} for the draft
|
|---|
| 61 | Big5 (2002) standard.
|
|---|
| 62 |
|
|---|
| 63 | James Su \<[email protected]\> \<[email protected]\>
|
|---|
| 64 | generated the Big5-HKSCS-to-Unicode tables with a very
|
|---|
| 65 | space-efficient algorithm. He generously donated his code to glibc
