| 17 | ||
| 18 | Encode::TW - Taiwan-based Chinese Encodings | |
| 19 | ||
| 20 | =head1 SYNOPSIS | |
| 21 | ||
| 22 | use Encode qw/encode decode/; | |
| 23 | $big5 = encode("big5", $utf8); # loads Encode::TW implicitly | |
| 24 | $utf8 = decode("big5", $big5); # ditto | |

| 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. | |
| 31 | ||
| 32 | Canonical Alias Description | |
| 33 | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | |
| 34 | big5-eten /\bbig-?5$/i Big5 encoding (with ETen extensions) | |
| 35 | /\bbig5-?et(en)?$/i | |
| 36 | /\btca-?big5$/i | |
| 37 | big5-hkscs /\bbig5-?hk(scs)?$/i | |
| 38 | /\bhk(scs)?-?big5$/i | |
| 39 | Big5 + Cantonese characters in Hong Kong | |

| 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. | |
