I suppose the English edition is not the final release of GB18030-2000.

At the end of official Chinese edition of GB18030-2005, listed the difference between GB18030-2000 and GB18030-2005 clearly, it doesn't mention 0x80 (€), so GB18030-2000 should not has 0x80 as well.

Why 0x80 (€) appear in English edition?
I searched on Google, this topic said 0x80 appears in *draft* of GB18030-2000.

So maybe the English edition is a translation of GB18030-2000 draft, this logic seems ok.

Anyway, 0x80 is another story, not conflict with this issue.
Zhang, do I need to make PR for 3.6/3.5/2.7 respectively?
