Unicode maintains a set of Windows code page mapping tables at http://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MICSFT/WINDOWS/. (There are lots of non-Windows tables too; start from MAPPINGS in the above URL.) Oddly, of the four Windows DBCS character sets, only CP932 has not been updated since 1998-04-15, and that table does not have a mapping for U+20AC EURO SIGN. Code position 0x80 is undefined, however, so MS may have added it there. The other three tables are all dated 2000-01-07, and show the EURO SIGN at the following positions: 936 0x80 949 0xA2E6 950 0xA3E1 Hope this helps, -Doug Ewell Fullerton, California
