+ \ingroup codecs
+
+ The Big5 codec provides conversion to and from the Big5 encoding.
+ The code was originally contributed by Ming-Che Chuang
+ \<mingche@cobra.ee.ntu.edu.tw\> for the Big-5+ encoding, and was
+ included in Qt with the author's permission, and the grateful
+ thanks of the Qt team. (Note: Ming-Che's code is QPL'd, as
+ per an mail to qt-info@nokia.com.)
+
+ However, since Big-5+ was never formally approved, and was never
+ used by anyone, the Taiwan Free Software community and the Li18nux
+ Big5 Standard Subgroup agree that the de-facto standard Big5-ETen
+ (zh_TW.Big5 or zh_TW.TW-Big5) be used instead.
+
+ The Big5 is currently implemented as a pure subset of the
+ Big5-HKSCS codec, so more fine-tuning is needed to make it
+ identical to the standard Big5 mapping as determined by
+ Li18nux-Big5. See \l{http://www.autrijus.org/xml/} for the draft
+ Big5 (2002) standard.
+
+ James Su \<suzhe@turbolinux.com.cn\> \<suzhe@gnuchina.org\>
+ generated the Big5-HKSCS-to-Unicode tables with a very
+ space-efficient algorithm. He generously donated his code to glibc
+ in May 2002. Subsequently, James has kindly allowed Anthony Fok
+ \<anthony@thizlinux.com\> \<foka@debian.org\> to adapt the code
+ for Qt.

+ \title Big5-HKSCS Text Codec
+ \ingroup codecs
+
+ The Big5-HKSCS codec provides conversion to and from the
+ Big5-HKSCS encoding.
+
+ The codec grew out of the QBig5Codec originally contributed by
+ Ming-Che Chuang \<mingche@cobra.ee.ntu.edu.tw\>. James Su
+ \<suzhe@turbolinux.com.cn\> \<suzhe@gnuchina.org\> and Anthony Fok
+ \<anthony@thizlinux.com\> \<foka@debian.org\> implemented HKSCS-1999
+ QBig5hkscsCodec for Qt-2.3.x, but it was too late in Qt development
+ schedule to be officially included in the Qt-2.3.x series.
+
+ Wu Yi \<wuyi@hancom.com\> ported the HKSCS-1999 QBig5hkscsCodec to
+ Qt-3.0.1 in March 2002.
+
+ With the advent of the new HKSCS-2001 standard, James Su
+ \<suzhe@turbolinux.com.cn\> \<suzhe@gnuchina.org\> generated the
+ Big5-HKSCS<->Unicode tables with a very space-efficient algorithm.
+ He generously donated his code to glibc in May 2002. Subsequently,
+ James has generously allowed Anthony Fok to adapt the code for
+ Qt-3.0.5.
+
+ Currently, the Big5-HKSCS tables are generated from the following
+ sources, and with the Euro character added:
+ \list 1
+ \o \l{http://www.microsoft.com/typography/unicode/950.txt}
+ \o \l{http://www.info.gov.hk/digital21/chi/hkscs/download/big5-iso.txt}
+ \o \l{http://www.info.gov.hk/digital21/chi/hkscs/download/big5cmp.txt}
+ \endlist
+
+ There may be more fine-tuning to the QBig5hkscsCodec to maximize its
+ compatibility with the standard Big5 (2002) mapping as determined by
+ Li18nux Big5 Standard Subgroup. See \l{http://www.autrijus.org/xml/}
+ for the various Big5 CharMapML tables.

+
+ The GBK codec provides conversion to and from the Chinese
+ GB18030/GBK/GB2312 encoding.
+
+ GBK, formally the Chinese Internal Code Specification, is a commonly

+ name codepage 936.
+
+ GBK has been superseded by the new Chinese national standard
+ GB 18030-2000, which added a 4-byte encoding while remaining
+ compatible with GB2312 and GBK. The new GB 18030-2000 may be described
+ as a special encoding of Unicode 3.x and ISO-10646-1.
+
+ Special thanks to charset gurus Markus Scherer (IBM),
+ Dirk Meyer (Adobe Systems) and Ken Lunde (Adobe Systems) for publishing
+ an excellent GB 18030-2000 summary and specification on the Internet.
+ Some must-read documents are:

+ \ingroup codecs
+
+ The JIS codec provides conversion to and from ISO 2022-JP.
+
+ The environment variable \c UNICODEMAP_JP can be used to
+ fine-tune the JIS, Shift-JIS, and EUC-JP codecs. The mapping
+ names are as for the Japanese XML working group's \link
+ http://www.y-adagio.com/public/standards/tr_xml_jpf/toc.htm XML
+ Japanese Profile\endlink, because it names and explains all the
+ widely used mappings. Here are brief descriptions, written by
+ Serika Kurusugawa:
+
+ \list
+
+ \o "unicode-0.9" or "unicode-0201" for Unicode style. This assumes
+ JISX0201 for 0x00-0x7f. (0.9 is a table version of jisx02xx mapping
+ used for Unicode 1.1.)
+
+ \o "unicode-ascii" This assumes US-ASCII for 0x00-0x7f; some
+ chars (JISX0208 0x2140 and JISX0212 0x2237) are different from
+ Unicode 1.1 to avoid conflict.
+
+ \o "open-19970715-0201" ("open-0201" for convenience) or
+ "jisx0221-1995" for JISX0221-JISX0201 style. JIS X 0221 is JIS
+ version of Unicode, but a few chars (0x5c, 0x7e, 0x2140, 0x216f,
+ 0x2131) are different from Unicode 1.1. This is used when 0x5c is
+ treated as YEN SIGN.
+
+ \o "open-19970715-ascii" ("open-ascii" for convenience) for
+ JISX0221-ASCII style. This is used when 0x5c is treated as REVERSE
+ SOLIDUS.
+
+ \o "open-19970715-ms" ("open-ms" for convenience) or "cp932" for
+ Microsoft Windows style. Windows Code Page 932. Some chars (0x2140,
+ 0x2141, 0x2142, 0x215d, 0x2171, 0x2172) are different from Unicode
+ 1.1.
+
+ \o "jdk1.1.7" for Sun's JDK style. Same as Unicode 1.1, except that
+ JIS 0x2140 is mapped to UFF3C. Either ASCII or JISX0201 can be used
+ for 0x00-0x7f.
+
+ \endlist
+
+ In addition, the extensions "nec-vdc", "ibm-vdc" and "udc" are
+ supported.
+
+ For example, if you want to use Unicode style conversion but with
+ NEC's extension, set \c UNICODEMAP_JP to \c {unicode-0.9,
+ nec-vdc}. (You will probably need to quote that in a shell
+ command.)
