EUDC claim the following:

Traditional Chinese BIG5

......
C6A1 C8FE F6B1 FB48

Please notice that part of the range F6B1-FB48 is out of the Private Use
Area [U+E000 U+F8FF] and conflict with Compatability Area and Specials
range.

It will be nice if Microsoft can limit the mapping of EUDC within the
Private Use Area only.
