NAME

     gb2312 -- GB2312 encoding method for Chinese text

SYNOPSIS

     ENCODING "GB2312"

DESCRIPTION

     The GB2312 encoding implements GB 2312-1980, a PRC national standard for the encoding of simplified Chinese characters.

     Multibyte characters in the GB2312 encoding can be one byte or two bytes long.  GB 11383-1981 (ASCII) characters are represented by single
     bytes in the range 0x00 to 0x7F.  Simplified Chinese characters are represented by two bytes, both in the range 0xA1-0xFE.

SEE ALSO

     euc(5), gb18030(5), gbk(5)

STANDARDS

     The GB2312 encoding is believed to be compatible with GB 2312-1980.  This standard has been superseded by GB 18030-2000, but is still in wide
     use.

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      /euc.*cn$/i     EUC (Extended Unix Character)
		 /cn.*euc$/i
		     /GB[-_ ]?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

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.
