ELinks does not support Big5 (or GB2312).  There is a report on
Bugzilla, "should use iconv for charset that it doesn't know":

    http://bugzilla.elinks.cz/show_bug.cgi?id=891

It would be wonderful if somebody implemented that (and it has been
discussed several times), but it would be a good amount of work.

Best regards,
