To find how to use this module in detail, see Encode.
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.
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. See
http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/unicode-symbols.html.en
to find out why it is implemented that way.
