10 Inherits QTextCodec.

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