 big5 code range is [0xa1-0xfe][0x40-0x7e,0xa1-0xfe].
 big5hkscs code range is [0x81-0xfe][0x40-0x7e,0xa1-0xfe].
 
 There are many difference between big5hkscs and big5 encoding.
 They are based on CP950.
 Big5 merges ETen extension characters(0xc6a1-0xc7fc).
 Big5HKSCS plus a lot of HongKong extension charters out side the encoding rnage of CP950.
 They are conflicts in 0xc6a1-0xc8fe.
 
 XFree86 add big5hkscs-0 encoding at Bug884 and big5hkscs-0 is XLFD registry-encoding.
 http://bugs.xfree86.org/show_bug.cgi?id=884
 
 Mozilla also support Big5HKSCS.
 http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=226183#c31
 
 zh_HK.Big5HKSCS is a glibc locale.
