<p> The QBig5Codec class provides conversion to and from the Big5 encoding.
<p> QBig5Codec was originally contributed by Ming-Che Chuang
<mingche@cobra.ee.ntu.edu.tw> for the Big-5+ encoding,
and was included in Qt with the author's permission, and the
grateful thanks of the Trolltech team.
(Note: Ming-Che's code is QPL'd, ref mail to into@trolltech.com)
<p> However, since Big-5+ was never formally approved, and was never used
by anyone, the Taiwan Free Software community and the Li18nux Big5
Standard Subgroup agree that the de-facto standard Big5-ETen
(zh_TW.Big5 or zh_TW.TW-Big5) be used instead.
<p> QBig5Codec is currently implemented as a pure subset of
<a href="qbig5hkscscodec.html">QBig5hkscsCodec</a>, so more fine-tuning is needed to make it identical
to the standard Big5 mapping as determined by Li18nux-Big5. See
<a href="http://www.autrijus.org/xml/">http://www.autrijus.org/xml/</a> for the draft Big5 (2002) standard.
<p> James Su <suzhe@turbolinux.com.cn> <suzhe@gnuchina.org> generated
the Big5-HKSCS<->Unicode tables with a very space-efficient algorithm.
He generously donated his code to glibc in May 2002. Subsequently,
James has generously allowed Anthony Fok <anthony@thizlinux.com>
<foka@debian.org> to adapt the code for Qt.
