Big5E

The Big5 Extended encoding is based on Big5, Big5+ and CNS 11643. It was developed in Taiwan to handle user-defined characters by governmental organisations, since Big5 did not contain all characters that these organisations needed they resorted in creating their own user defined character points however these were not compatible with other organisations.
Big5E was completed in July 1997. The Chinese Foundation for Digital Technology picked 3954 Chinese characters from Big5+ and CNS 11643 level 3 and 4 to encode them in the user defined area of Big5E. Another 128 codepoints were reserved for later extensions.
There are several tools developed for Big5E like conversiontable's, conversion programs and improved input editors.
