>Description:
The manual page states that "``Big Five'' is the de facto standard for encoding Traditional Chinese text."

However, nowadays Unicode encodings like UTF-8 are often used, so it is incorrect to state that Big5 is the de-facto standard.

The first Taiwanese website I chose at random is encoded in UTF-8:  www.ltn.com.tw
>How-To-Repeat:
man 5 big5
>Fix:
Change the text "the de facto standard for encoding" to "a standard for encoding".

 I=92m not sure how authoritative this site is, but it seems to back up =
 my claim that UTF-8 is commonly used:
