>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".
