But > emacs-unicode version already supports it. Good enough for me. Do you have an opinion on whether falling back to BIG5 when BIG5-HKSCS is not available [in Gnus, for displaying incoming e-mail in BIG-5HKSCS], is a reasonable behaviour? I browsed the BIG5-HKSCS specification, and it appear to add lots of characters (~1500) but it didn't seem to alter any, and I can't tell whether the additions are critical or just rarely used symbols. I doubt rendering it as BIG5 is worse than QP, though, which is the current behaviour.
