Chapter 15282
iconv conversions between eucTW and UCS2 or UTF-8 may be affected.
Big-5 conversions with UCS2/UTF-8 are not directly impacted as only a
missing table entry has been added.
eucTW=ucs2, ucs2=eucTW, big5=ucs2 and ucs2=big5 iconv converter
tables are affected. These tables are shared by both UCS2 and UTF-8
conversions.
No compatibility problems are anticipated. However, if compatibility
concerns arise with regard to persistent data stored either in Unicode
(UCS2) or UTF-8 on an HP-UX system, it is possible to generate a simple
conversion script to search for each occurrence of an incorrect value in
either UCS2 or UTF-8 and convert it to the correct value, based on the
0xa1b8 0xfe32 0xfe31 Presentation form
