-#       BIG5 characters map into Unicode.
+#
+# This table contains one set of mappings from BIG5 into Unicode.
+# Note that these data are *possible* mappings only and may not be the
+# same as those used by actual products, nor may they be the best suited
+# for all uses.  For more information on the mappings between various code
+# pages incorporating the repertoire of BIG5 and Unicode, consult the
+# VENDORS mapping data.  Normative information on the mapping between
+# BIG5 and Unicode may be found in the Unihan.txt file in the
+# latest Unicode Character Database.
+#
+# If you have carefully considered the fact that the mappings in
+# this table are only one possible set of mappings between BIG5 and
+# Unicode and have no normative status, but still feel that you
+# have located an error in the table that requires fixing, you may
+# report any such error to errata@unicode.org.

 #	WARNING!  It is currently impossible to provide round-trip compatibility
