+=head1 NAME
+
+Encode::TW - Taiwan-based Chinese Encodings
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ use Encode qw/encode decode/;
+ $big5 = encode("big5", $utf8); # loads Encode::TW implicitly
+ $utf8 = decode("big5", $big5); # ditto
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This module implements tradition Chinese charset encodings as used
+in Taiwan and Hong Kong.
+Encodings supported are as follows.
+
+ Canonical Alias Description
+ --------------------------------------------------------------------
+ big5-eten /\bbig-?5$/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 L<Encode>.
+
+=head1 NOTES
+
+Due to size concerns, C<EUC-TW> (Extended Unix Character), C<CCCII>
+(Chinese Character Code for Information Interchange), C<BIG5PLUS>
+(CMEX's Big5+) and C<BIG5EXT> (CMEX's Big5e) are distributed separately
+on CPAN, under the name L<Encode::HanExtra>. That module also contains
+extra China-based encodings.
+
+=head1 BUGS
+
+Since the original C<big5> encoding (1984) is not supported anywhere
+(glibc and DOS-based systems uses C<big5> to mean C<big5-eten>; Microsoft
+uses C<big5> to mean C<cp950>), a conscious decision was made to alias
+C<big5> to C<big5-eten>, which is the de facto superset of the original
+big5.
+
+The C<CNS11643> encoding files are not complete. For common C<CNS11643>
+manipulation, please use C<EUC-TW> in L<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.
