+/// This is Big5 with HKSCS with mappings to more recent Unicode assignments
+/// instead of the Private Use Area code points that have been used historically.
+/// It is believed to be able to decode existing Web content in a way that makes
+/// sense.
+///
+/// To avoid form submissions generating data that Web servers don't understand,
+/// the encoder doesn't use the HKSCS byte sequences that precede the unextended
+/// Big5 in the lexical order.

+/// This encoding is designed to be suited for decoding the Windows code page 950
+/// and its HKSCS patched "951" variant such that the text makes sense, given
+/// assignments that Unicode has made after those encodings used Private Use
+/// Area characters.
