NAME
       sbig5 - A character encoding system (codeset) for Traditional Chinese

DESCRIPTION
       The  Shift Big-5 (sbig5) codeset is a variant of the Big-5 codeset (see
       big5(5)). The only difference between these codesets is that the second
       byte  of	 some  Big-5  characters are mapped to different values in the
       Shift Big-5 codeset.  The  remapping  is	 done  to  avoid  having  some
       metacharacters  like  *, which has special meaning to UNIX commands, in
       the second byte of a 2-byte Big-5 character.

       The mappings of Big-5 characters to Shift Big-5 characters are as  fol‐
       lows:

       ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
       Big-5	 (2nd	Character Symbol   Shift Big-5 (2nd   Character Symbol
       byte)				   byte)
       ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
       40		@		   30		      0
       5B		[		   31		      1
       5C		\		   32		      2
       5D		]		   33		      3
       5E		^		   34		      4
       5F		-		   35		      5
       60		`		   36		      6
       7B		{		   37		      7
       7C		|		   38		      8
       7D		}		   39		      9
       7E		~		   9F		      nil
       ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

       The sbig5 codeset is not supported by a locale but only through codeset
       conversion.

   Codeset Conversion
       The following codeset converter pairs are available for converting Tra‐
       ditional	 Chinese  characters between sbig5 and other encoding formats.
       Refer to iconv_intro(5) for an introduction to codeset conversion.  For
       more  information  about the other codeset for which sbig5 is the input
       or  output,  see	 the  reference	 page  specified  in  the  list	 item.
       big5_sbig5, sbig5_big5

	      Converting from and to the Big-5 codeset: big5(5).

	      Note  that  Big-5	 encoding is equivalent to the Microsoft code-
	      page format used on PCs for Traditional Chinese. Therefore,  you
	      can  use these converters to convert Traditional Chinese between
	      PC code-page format  and	Shift  Big-5  encoding.	  eucTW_sbig5,
	      sbig5_eucTW

	      Converting from and to Taiwanese Extended UNIX Code: eucTW(5).
