By default, no, HK and other machines are the same. We used to provide a hacked code page as an optional file for HKSCS support, which used a hacked CP950 (aka CP951) and installed that as CP950. That provided HKSCS glyphs by reusing some of the PUA code points.

We recommend people convert from that mechanism to Unicode, using the tool you found to convert from the UTF-16 PUA to UTF-16 HKSCS.

What is actually found on the web, I have no clue. Pretty much any CP951 encoded data isn't going to be very portable. Our recommendation would be for people having such content to convert to UTF-16 (or maybe UTF-8).

Thanks, this is awesome. Is there public documentation on the PUA code point to Unicode code point mapping? I guess I can install the utility and write some software around it to extract the mapping table, but I'm not very familiar with writing software on Windows.
