I'm wondering if Big5-1984 can be added to Encode. I'm developing
web applications, which rely a lot on FB_HTMLCREF. I found that Big5-eten
and CP950 are incompatible, especially in Japanese and European language
characters. When FB_HTMLCREF-encoding web pages as Big5-eten, Japanese
hiragana and katakana characters will be mapped to Big5-eten but not
numeric character references, which will not be shown at all under MSIE.
If I encode them with CP950 instead, European characters, like ê,
will be mapped to US-ASCII. Neither one is acceptable for i18n web
applications.
Have you investigated the Big5-2003 mapping table?

If this works for you, I am in favor of adopting this as the new default
"big5" mapping inside Encode.pm. If you really need big5-1984, please
send the .ucm file to me and I'll add it to HanExtra.
Thanks,
