    Hi Folks:

    Any one know/sure when does MS start to introduce EURO signed (0x80 ->
    U+20AC), LATIN SMALL LETTER Z WITH CARON (0x9e -> U+017E) and LATIN
    CAPITAL LETTER Z WITH CARON (0x8e -> U+017D) into Windows-1252 ? (Date
    and which version of windows? Win98? Win98SE or WinMe ?)

    It looks like the table in [1] does not include them, but [2] include them.

    [1] 1252 Windows Latin 1 (ANSI), Appendix H Code Pages, page 464,
    Developing International Software For Windows 95 and Windows NT, Nadine
    Kano, Microsoft Press, ISBN 1-55615-840-8
    [2] Microsoft Windows Code Page: 1252 (Latin 1), Appendix I, page 743,
    Developing International Software Second Edition, Dr. International,
    Microsoft, ISBN 0-7356-1583-7

    I recently saw some software pass thorugh other (0x-80-0x9f)
    windows-1252 characters correctly but turn these 3 characters to '?'
    .... quite interesting result.
