Summary
MS950 charset encoder behaves differently as defined in the Traditional Chinese Windows specification
Problem
Windows code page 950 has some n:1 byte-to-char mappings for certain code points. In JDK's MS950 charset, there are 4 char-to-byte mappings differ from Traditional Chinese Windows.
(Actual issue was in https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8232161)
Solution
I recommend that following 4 char-to-byte mappings need to change.
Before:
\u2550 -> \xA2\xA4 \u255E -> \xA2\xA5 \u2561 -> \xA2\xA7 \u256A -> \xA2\xA7
After:
\u2550 -> \xF9\xF9 \u255E -> \xF9\xE9 \u2561 -> \xF9\xEB \u256A -> \xF9\xEA
Definition:
Traditional Chinese Windows conversion table is:
https://unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MICSFT/WINDOWS/CP950.TXT
Newer MS950 definition is:
https://unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MICSFT/WindowsBestFit/bestfit950.txt
\u2550, \u255E, \u2561 and \u256A are in BOX DRAWINGS Unicode range.
