GBK is a backwards compatible extension of GB with more characters. I'm
not sure that Big5 has an equivalent. In all these cases, the character
set is used to select preferences for fonts, input methods and other
language sensitive things, and has nothing to do with UTF-8 (which is
used as a preference for file encoding when specified).
