[issue7856] cannot decode from or encode to big5 \xf9\xd8

Martin v. Löwis <martin at v.loewis.de> added the comment:

In particular, the Unicode consortium mapping table, now at

http://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/OBSOLETE/EASTASIA/OTHER/BIG5.TXT

doesn't map f9d8 to anything; the current version of that table (in unihan.zip) has these mappings for U+88CF:

U+88CF	kCCCII	232E61
U+88CF	kCNS1986	E-444E
U+88CF	kCNS1992	3-444E
U+88CF	kEACC	215763
U+88CF	kGB1	3279
U+88CF	kHKSCS	F9D8
U+88CF	kJis0	4602
U+88CF	kKPS0	D9E0
U+88CF	kKSC0	5574
U+88CF	kTaiwanTelegraph	5937
U+88CF	kXerox	241:102

As you can see, it isn't supported in big5.
