Overview

Big 5 encoding for traditional Chinese uses the characters {, }, and \ which have special meanings in TeX documents.

After processing a LaTeX 2e document which contains Big 5 characters with bg5conv you need not care about these special characters.

This filter is part of the CJK macro package for LaTeX 2e.
