That module also contains 54extra China-based encodings. 55 56=head1 BUGS 57 58Since the original C<big5> encoding (1984) is not supported anywhere 59(glibc and DOS-based systems uses C<big5> to mean C<big5-eten>; Microsoft 60uses C<big5> to mean C<cp950>), a conscious decision was made to alias 61C<big5> to C<big5-eten>, which is the de facto superset of the original 62big5. 63 64The C<CNS11643> encoding files are not complete. For common C<CNS11643> 65manipulation, please use C<EUC-TW> in L<Encode::HanExtra>, which contains 66planes 1-7. 67 68The ASCII region (0x00-0x7f) is preserved for all encodings, even 69though this conflicts with mappings by the Unicode Consortium. 70 71=head1 SEE ALSO 72 73L<Encode> 74 75=cut 76
