** The UTF-8/16/7 coding systems don't encode CJK (Far Eastern) characters.
-Emacs by default only supports the parts of the Unicode BMP whose code

+Emacs directly supports the Unicode BMP whose code points are in the
+ranges 0000-33ff and e000-ffff, and indirectly supports the parts of
+CJK characters belonging to these legacy charsets:
+
+ GB2312, Big5, JISX0208, JISX0212, JISX0213-1, JISX0213-2, KSC5601
+
+The latter support is done in Utf-Translate-Cjk mode (turned on by
+default). Which Unicode CJK characters are decoded into which Emacs
+charset is decided by the current language environment. For instance,
+in Chinese-GB, most of them are decoded into chinese-gb2312.
If you read UTF-8 data with code points outside these ranges, the
characters appear in the buffer as raw bytes of the original UTF-8
substituted with the Unicode `replacement character', and you lose
information.
-To edit such UTF data, turn on Utf-Translate-Cjk mode, which makes
-many common CJK characters available for encoding and decoding and can
-be extended by updating the tables it uses. This also allows you to
-save as UTF buffers containing characters decoded by the chinese-,
-japanese- and korean- coding systems, e.g. cut and pasted from
-elsewhere.
