+{UD} I don't doubt for a minute that some of the conversion tables contain
+errors. We tried the best we can and relied on automatic generation of the
+data to prevent human-introduced errors but this still is no guarantee. If
+you think you found a problem please send a bug report describing it and
+give an authoritive reference. The latter is important since otherwise
+the current behaviour is as good as the proposed one.

+Before doing this look through the list of known problem first:

+- the GBK (simplified Chinese) encoding is based on Unicode tables. This
+ is good. These tables, however, differ slightly from the tables used
+ by the M$ people. The differences are these [+ Unicode, - M$]:
+
+ +0xA1AA 0x2015
+ +0xA844 0x2014
+ -0xA1AA 0x2014
+ -0xA844 0x2015
+
+ In addition the Unicode tables contain mappings for the GBK characters
+ 0xA8BC, 0xA8BF, 0xA989 to 0xA995, and 0xFE50 to 0xFEA0.
