I'm not sure of CP950/932/936, but CP949 (hmm, even of this,
I don't have a definitive answer) may have it added at 0xA2E6. Because KS
X 1001 was revised in Dec. 1998 to add two characters: Euro Sign (U+20AC)
at row 2, column 70 (0xA2E6 when put in GR) and Registered Sign(U+00AE)
at row 2, column 71 (0xA2E7 when put in GR).

Putting it at 0x80 could break some existing programs that do
their own encoding conversion because 0x80 has its MSB set, couldn't it?
Anyway, I think this can be 'experimentally' :-) determined. After
updating your Win2k with the latest update, write a simple program to
invoke WideCharToMultiByte(??) with U+20AC under codepages of your concern
(932,936,949, 950) and see what it returns.
