SYNOPSIS
#include <qbig5codec.h>
Inherits QTextCodec.
DESCRIPTION
The QBig5Codec class provides conversion to and from the Big5 encoding.
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, as per an mail to
info@trolltech.com.)
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.
QBig5Codec is currently implemented as a pure subset of
QBig5hkscsCodec, so more fine-tuning is needed to make it identical to
the standard Big5 mapping as determined by Li18nux-Big5. See
http://www.autrijus.org/xml/ for the draft Big5 (2002) standard.
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 kindly allowed Anthony Fok <anthony@thizlinux.com>
<foka@debian.org> to adapt the code for Qt.
