Encode::CN

NAME

Encode::CN − China−based Chinese Encodings

SYNOPSIS

    use Encode qw/encode decode/;
    $euc_cn = encode("euc−cn", $utf8);   # loads Encode::CN implicitly
    $utf8   = decode("euc−cn", $euc_cn); # ditto

DESCRIPTION

This module implements China-based Chinese charset encodings. Encodings supported are as follows.

NOTES

Due to size concerns, "GB 18030" (an extension to "GBK") is distributed separately on CPAN, under the name Encode::HanExtra. That module also contains extra Taiwan-based encodings.

BUGS

When you see "charset=gb2312" on mails and web pages, they really mean "euc−cn" encodings. To fix that, "gb2312" is aliased to "euc−cn". Use "gb2312−raw" when you really mean it.

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