JDK-4426470 - String.getBytes() method does not convert some Big5 characters correctly
Description

Name: sg39081			Date: 10/19/99


Seven common use Chinese character listed in ETen character set
are missing in the Big5 character set. \xF9D6, \xF9D7, \xF9D8,
\xF9D9, \xF9DA, \xF9DB, \xF9DC. Although those character are
not the standard Big5 characters, they are common use in Taiwan.
Adding those characters will make java in Big5 more compatible
with other operating systems.

These 7 characters can be seen on NT but not on Solaris. So I
am not sure if this is really a problem with JDK.

Bug 4201571 has the following that were missing and these
have been added to the kestrel release:

BIG5	UNICODE
0xA15A	0xFF3F	
0xA1C3	0x203F
0xA1C5	0x2017
0xA1FE	0xFF0F
0xA240	0xFF3C
0xA2CC	0x303C
0xA2CE	0x303E
