Don't confuse the row-cell value for a GB 2312 character for the
encoded version (EUC-CN, usually just called "GB"). In a GB encoded
file all characters outside of ASCII/GB-Roman are in the range 0xA1 -
0xFE.

So, for example, yi1 has row-cell 50-27 in GB 2312-80, but is encoded
as 0xD2BB in a GB encoded file. To convert between row-cell and the
encoded byte, add/subtract 0xA0 to each.
