NAME

String::Multibyte::GBK - internally used by String::Multibyte for GBK

SYNOPSIS

    use String::Multibyte;

    $gbk = String::Multibyte->new('GBK');
    $gbk_length = $gbk->length($gbk_string);

"String::Multibyte::GBK" is used for manipulation of strings in GBK (Guobiao Kuozhan).

Byte range of single-byte characters: "0x00..0x80".

Leading byte range of double-byte characters: "0x81..0xFE".

Trailing byte range of double-byte characters: "0x40..0x7E" and "0x80..0xFE".

Character order (invalid code points are excluded): "0x00..0x80", "0x8140..0xFEFE".

0x80 is supported in consideration of Microsoft's CP936. (Hmmm, according to IANA Charset Registration for GBK, GBK must be identical to CP936.)
