Ok, so Windows codepage 950 has those 7 characters, but not the other ETEN extended chars. I think that's a good enough reason to add those 7 chars; we have 'win950' as an alias for big5 anyway.
I'll go add those characters. -- Heikki Linnakangas EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com - Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
