NAME

Encode::TW − Taiwan−based Chinese Encodings

SYNOPSIS

    use Encode qw/encode decode/;
    $big5 = encode("big5", $utf8); # loads Encode::TW implicitly
    $utf8 = decode("big5", $big5); # ditto

DESCRIPTION

This module implements tradition Chinese charset encodings as used in Taiwan and Hong Kong. Encodings supported are as follows.

  Canonical   Alias             Description
  --------------------------------------------------------------------
  big5-eten   /\bbig-?5$/i      Big5 encoding (with ETen extensions)
              /\bbig5-?et(en)?$/i
              /\btca-?big5$/i
  big5-hkscs  /\bbig5-?hk(scs)?$/i
              /\bhk(scs)?-?big5$/i
                                Big5 + Cantonese characters in Hong Kong
  MacChineseTrad                Big5 + Apple Vendor Mappings
  cp950                         Code Page 950
                                = Big5 + Microsoft vendor mappings
  --------------------------------------------------------------------

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

NOTES

Due to size concerns, "EUC−TW" (Extended Unix Character), "CCCII" (Chinese Character Code for Information Interchange), "BIG5PLUS" ( CMEX ’s Big5+) and "BIG5EXT" ( CMEX ’s Big5e) are distributed separately on CPAN , under the name Encode::HanExtra. That module also contains extra China-based encodings.

BUGS

Since the original "big5" encoding (1984) is not supported anywhere (glibc and DOS-based systems uses "big5" to mean "big5−eten"; Microsoft uses "big5" to mean "cp950"), a conscious decision was made to alias "big5" to "big5−eten", which is the de facto superset of the original big5.

The "CNS11643" encoding files are not complete. For common "CNS11643" manipulation, please use "EUC−TW" in Encode::HanExtra, which contains planes 1−7.

The ASCII region (0x00−0x7f) is preserved for all encodings, even though this conflicts with mappings by the Unicode Consortium. See

<http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/unicode−symbols.html.en>

to find out why it is implemented that way.
