JDK-4426470 - String.getBytes() method does not convert some Big5 characters correctly
Description
Information about BIG5 plus can be found from http://www.cmex.org.tw/big-5.html

Converters and fonts can be downloaded from http://www.cmex.org.tw/download-b5.html

ALC is going to enhance zh_TW.BIG5 locale to support BIG5+ in Solaris 9, nothing will be changed except more characters will be recognized in this locale. 
So pleaser replace the current BIG5 converter with BIG5+ converter.
