This version of Windows uses GBK, which is sort of "Shift-Unicode for
Han-Characters only". It is constructed by assigning the characters
not in GB 2312-80 to codepoints beginning at 8140, but shifting
around the range A1A1~FEFE, which is already used in the usual
encodings of GB 2312-80. As you might gather, it is a rather weird
encoding, but at least you can be sure that any CJK-character in
Unicode can be displayed on this system. I am pretty sure, that the
built in conversion routines will take care of this, so if you use
those, you would not have to mess around with GBK

All the best,
