>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".
