| <p>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.</p> |
| <p>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.</p> |

| <p>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.</p> |
| <p>This will change from <code>static</code> to <code>const</code> if Rust changes |
| to make the referent of <code>pub const FOO: &'static Encoding</code> |
| unique cross-crate, so don’t take the address of this |
| <code>static</code>.</p> |
