    But in the OBSOLETE directory _is_ a mapping which includes non-CJK chars:

    ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/OBSOLETE/EASTASIA/JIS/SHIFTJIS.TXT

    Here you find e.g. that:

    0x43 0x0043 # LATIN CAPITAL LETTER C

    I guess this mapping is as official as you can expect in an OBSOLETE dir.
