CP936 => GBK; CP950 => Big5

   http://www.microsoft.com/typography/unicode/unicodecp.htm
   http://www.unicode.org/
   http://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MICSFT/WINDOWS/
   http://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/EASTASIA/
   http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/Unihan.txt

Note that I personally find the Big5-Unicode map in
http://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/EASTASIA/ somewhat outdated and
incomplete.  Even though I am no fan of Microsoft, I would say the
CP950 mapping file provided by Microsoft much better reflects the de
facto Big5 standard.

Hope this helps,

Anthony
