Fun with UDCs in Shift-JIS

I've just discovered that it seems that Shift-JIS encodes a number of
User-Defined Characters in the 0xF040 to 0xFCFC range, and that these
characters are used in web pages. Does anyone know of a source of
mappings for these characters, or even have information about what
kinds of characters are found in this area?

Google searches found a number of mentions of this, and even one
mapping, but none of them seemed to be usable.

Also, does anyone know of a Shift-JIS web page that uses one of these
characters?
