DESCRIPTION

To find how to use this module in detail, see Encode.

BUGS

JIS X0212-1990 is not supported.

ASCII part (0x00-0x7f) is preserved for all encodings, even though it conflicts with mappings by the Unicode Consortium. See

http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/unicode-symbols.html.en

to find why it is implemented that way.
