DESCRIPTION

14       The QBig5hkscsCodec class provides conversion to and from the
15       Big5-HKSCS encoding.
16
17       QBig5hkscsCodec grew out of the QBig5Codec originally contributed by
18       Ming-Che Chuang <mingche@cobra.ee.ntu.edu.tw>. James Su
19       <suzhe@turbolinux.com.cn> <suzhe@gnuchina.org> and Anthony Fok
20       <anthony@thizlinux.com> <foka@debian.org> implemented HKSCS-1999
21       QBig5hkscsCodec for Qt-2.3.x, but it was too late in Qt development
22       schedule to be officially included in the Qt-2.3.x series.
23
24       Wu Yi <wuyi@hancom.com> ported the HKSCS-1999 QBig5hkscsCodec to
25       Qt-3.0.1 in March 2002.
26
27       With the advent of the new HKSCS-2001 standard, James Su
28       <suzhe@turbolinux.com.cn> <suzhe@gnuchina.org> generated the
29       Big5-HKSCS<->Unicode tables with a very space-efficient algorithm. He
30       generously donated his code to glibc in May 2002. Subsequently, James
31       has generously allowed Anthony Fok to adapt the code for Qt-3.0.5.
32
33       Currently, the Big5-HKSCS tables are generated from the following
34       sources, and with the Euro character added: <ol type=1>

41
42       There may be more fine-tuning to the QBig5hkscsCodec to maximize its
43       compatibility with the standard Big5 (2002) mapping as determined by
44       Li18nux Big5 Standard Subgroup. See http://www.autrijus.org/xml/ for
45       the various Big5 CharMapML tables.
