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

   Canonical   Alias             Description
   --------------------------------------------------------------------
   euc-cn      /\beuc.*cn$/i     EUC (Extended Unix Character)
           /\bcn.*euc$/i
               /\bGB[-_ ]?2312(?:\D.*$|$)/i (see below)
   gb2312-raw                    The raw (low-bit) GB2312 character map
   gb12345-raw                   Traditional chinese counterpart to
                 GB2312 (raw)
   iso-ir-165                    GB2312 + GB6345 + GB8565 + additions
   MacChineseSimp                GB2312 + Apple Additions
   cp936                         Code Page 936, also known as GBK
                 (Extended GuoBiao)
   hz                            7-bit escaped GB2312 encoding

NNOOTTEESS #

 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.

BBUUGGSS #

 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.
