Re: converting from Big 5 and GuoBiao encodings

You can get NSStringEncoding IDs for these encodings by converting 
CFStringEncoding.

To get the Mac variant of Big5 (Mac Traditional Chinese), you can do 
CFStringConvertEncodingToNSStringEncoding
(kCFStringEncodingMacChineseTrad).

Refer to http://developer.apple.com/documentation/CoreFoundation/Reference/CFStringRef/Reference/reference.html#/
/apple_ref/c/func/CFStringConvertEncodingToNSStringEncoding
