You're right, Markus, Microsoft uses the PUA to roundtrip Big 5, Shift-JIS,
Hangul, and GB2312 characters not in Unicode 2.1.

Thanks

as far as i know, microsoft uses private use characters for these.
most of them should go into cjk extension b, plane 2, post-unicode 3.0.

Subject: HKSCS in Unicode?

The Hong Kong government website information on the Hong Kong Supplementary
Character Set states:

     The HKSCS, as a supplementary character set of the Big-5 and
     ISO 10646 coding schemes, contains Chinese characters needed
     in Chinese computing in Hong Kong but are not contained in either
     the Big-5 or ISO 10646 standard character set.

     [ http://www.digital21.gov.hk/eng/hkscs/ ]

Are these HKSCS characters included in the additional ideographs in Unicode
3.0? If not, can someone enlighten me to their current status?
