Well anyway, for our locale me and my friends all use zh_TW.UTF-8 and
stopped using zh_TW.big5 years ago. So at least it looks very dumb there
in mule-cmds.el that the zh_CN people can use UTF-8, but the HK and TW
are locked in the dark ages:

    ("zh_HK" . "Chinese-Big5")
    ("zh_TW" . "Chinese-Big5")
    ("zh_CN.UTF-8" . "Chinese-GBK")
    ("zh_CN" . "Chinese-GB")

The only big5 thing I apparently sometimes still use is
$ GET http://jidanni.org/comp/configuration/.emacs | grep -i b5
    (setq default-input-method 'chinese-py-punct-b5))));no 'utf' ones
