[+/-] : How to GBK(GB2312) and UTF-8 encoding conversion between in JavaScript

following js code show to how to convert text between Simplified Chinese GB 2312 text strings into UTF8 using JavaScript.

test:
  GBK => UTF8:
  var utf8 = GB2312UTF8.GB2312ToUTF8("中文GB2312");

  UTF8 => GBK:
  GB2312UTF8.UTF8ToGB2312(utf8);
