=head1 NAME
Encode::TW - Taiwan-based Chinese Encodings
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Encode::CN;
$big5 = encode("big5", $utf8);
$utf8 = encode("big5", $big5);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module implements Taiwan-based Chinese charset encodings.
Encodings supported are as follows.
big5 The original Big5 encoding
big5-hkscs 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.
This module will automatically load L<Encode::HanExtra> if you have it on
your machine.
=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
F<http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/unicode-symbols.html.en>
to find why it is implemented that way.
