+    \title Big5 Text Codec
+    \ingroup codecs
+
+    The Big5 codec provides conversion to and from the Big5 encoding.
+    The code 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 Qt team. (Note: Ming-Che's code is QPL'd, as
+    per an mail to qt-info@nokia.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.
+
+    The Big5 is currently implemented as a pure subset of the
+    Big5-HKSCS codec, so more fine-tuning is needed to make it
+    identical to the standard Big5 mapping as determined by
+    Li18nux-Big5.  See \l{http://www.autrijus.org/xml/} for the draft
+    Big5 (2002) standard.
+
+    James Su \<suzhe@turbolinux.com.cn\> \<suzhe@gnuchina.org\>
+    generated the Big5-HKSCS-to-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.

+    \title Big5-HKSCS Text Codec
+    \ingroup codecs
+
+    The Big5-HKSCS codec provides conversion to and from the
+    Big5-HKSCS encoding.
+
+    The codec grew out of the QBig5Codec originally contributed by
+    Ming-Che Chuang \<mingche@cobra.ee.ntu.edu.tw\>.  James Su
+    \<suzhe@turbolinux.com.cn\> \<suzhe@gnuchina.org\> and Anthony Fok
+    \<anthony@thizlinux.com\> \<foka@debian.org\> implemented HKSCS-1999
+    QBig5hkscsCodec for Qt-2.3.x, but it was too late in Qt development
+    schedule to be officially included in the Qt-2.3.x series.
+
+    Wu Yi \<wuyi@hancom.com\> ported the HKSCS-1999 QBig5hkscsCodec to
+    Qt-3.0.1 in March 2002.
+
+    With the advent of the new HKSCS-2001 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 generously allowed Anthony Fok to adapt the code for
+    Qt-3.0.5.
+
+    Currently, the Big5-HKSCS tables are generated from the following
+    sources, and with the Euro character added:
+    \list 1
+    \o \l{http://www.microsoft.com/typography/unicode/950.txt}

+    \o \l{http://www.info.gov.hk/digital21/chi/hkscs/download/big5cmp.txt}
+    \endlist
+
+    There may be more fine-tuning to the QBig5hkscsCodec to maximize its
+    compatibility with the standard Big5 (2002) mapping as determined by
+    Li18nux Big5 Standard Subgroup.  See \l{http://www.autrijus.org/xml/}

+

+
+    The JIS codec provides conversion to and from ISO 2022-JP.
+
+    The environment variable \c UNICODEMAP_JP can be used to
+    fine-tune the JIS, Shift-JIS, and EUC-JP codecs. The mapping
+    names are as for the Japanese XML working group's \link
+    http://www.y-adagio.com/public/standards/tr_xml_jpf/toc.htm XML
+    Japanese Profile\endlink, because it names and explains all the
+    widely used mappings. Here are brief descriptions, written by
+    Serika Kurusugawa:
+
+    \list
+
+    \o "unicode-0.9" or "unicode-0201" for Unicode style. This assumes
+    JISX0201 for 0x00-0x7f. (0.9 is a table version of jisx02xx mapping
+    used for Unicode 1.1.)
+
+    \o "unicode-ascii" This assumes US-ASCII for 0x00-0x7f; some
+    chars (JISX0208 0x2140 and JISX0212 0x2237) are different from
+    Unicode 1.1 to avoid conflict.
+
+    \o "open-19970715-0201" ("open-0201" for convenience) or
+    "jisx0221-1995" for JISX0221-JISX0201 style. JIS X 0221 is JIS
+    version of Unicode, but a few chars (0x5c, 0x7e, 0x2140, 0x216f,
+    0x2131) are different from Unicode 1.1. This is used when 0x5c is
+    treated as YEN SIGN.
+
+    \o "open-19970715-ascii" ("open-ascii" for convenience) for
+    JISX0221-ASCII style. This is used when 0x5c is treated as REVERSE
+    SOLIDUS.
+
+    \o "open-19970715-ms" ("open-ms" for convenience) or "cp932" for
+    Microsoft Windows style. Windows Code Page 932. Some chars (0x2140,
+    0x2141, 0x2142, 0x215d, 0x2171, 0x2172) are different from Unicode
+    1.1.
+
+    \o "jdk1.1.7" for Sun's JDK style. Same as Unicode 1.1, except that
+    JIS 0x2140 is mapped to UFF3C. Either ASCII or JISX0201 can be used
+    for 0x00-0x7f.
+
+    \endlist
+
+    In addition, the extensions "nec-vdc", "ibm-vdc" and "udc" are
+    supported.
+
+    For example, if you want to use Unicode style conversion but with
+    NEC's extension, set \c UNICODEMAP_JP to \c {unicode-0.9,
+    nec-vdc}. (You will probably need to quote that in a shell
+    command.)
