I'm not sure of CP950/932/936, but CP949 (hmm, even of this, I don't have a definitive answer) may have it added at 0xA2E6. Because KS X 1001 was revised in Dec. 1998 to add two characters: Euro Sign (U+20AC) at row 2, column 70 (0xA2E6 when put in GR) and Registered Sign(U+00AE) at row 2, column 71 (0xA2E7 when put in GR). > added to CP932 for Windows 2000-J (at location 0x80), or is this just > a wild rumor? Putting it at 0x80 could break some existing programs that do their own encoding conversion because 0x80 has its MSB set, couldn't it? Anyway, I think this can be 'experimentally' :-) determined. After updating your Win2k with the latest update, write a simple program to invoke WideCharToMultiByte(??) with U+20AC under codepages of your concern (932,936,949, 950) and see what it returns.
