Code page 950

Code page 950 is Microsoft's implementation of the de facto standard Big5. The code page is not registered with IANA[1], and hence, is not a standard to communicate information over the internet. The major difference between code page 950 and Big5 is the incorporation of some ETEN characters at F9D6-F9FE: '碁銹恒裏墻粧嫺', and 34 extra symbols, including box drawing characters. It is modified at around 2000 with the addition of the euro sign (€), at 0xA3E1.^[1]
