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.

      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)

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.
