Converting Between Encodings

In the case of big5 coding to and from UCS2/UTF-8, the Ideographic Space character was absent in the
Unicode conversion table mapping:
The following table summarizes the changes applied for conversions between eucTW and UCS2.
The iconv conversions between eucTW and UCS2 or UTF-8 may be affected.
Big-5 conversions with UCS2/UTF-8 are not directly impacted since only a missing table entry has been
added.
The eucTW=ucs2, ucs2=eucTW, big5=ucs2 and ucs2=big5 iconv converter tables are affected. These tables
are shared by both UCS2 and UTF-8 conversions.
