Is this right? Yes, U20AC is indeed missing from cp936.ucm but see
this;

So far as I check the Microsoft's pages
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/unicode/cscp.htm ->
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/wincp.mspx ->
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/dbcs/936.htm
it indeed does use \x80 (though only \x00-\xFF are covered; Where the
heck is the FULL MAP!?). But it seem this only applies to 936. 932
(Japanese; Shift_JIS based), 949 (Korean; euc-kr based) and 950
(Traditional Chinese; Big5-based) all leave \x80 blank.
I would like more confirmation from experts; cp936.ucm has been
overhauled with a help of MORIYAMA san and back then and at that time
FULL map was available from the URIs above. And I think \x80 was not
used for EURO SIGN back then.
I'm not any expert, but at least, I can tell you
that you can get the official full maps
by clicking a gray box (like [81], [81], ..., [FE])
in http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/dbcs/936.htm
or http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/dbcs/936/936_81.htm
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/dbcs/936/936_82.htm
etc.
This table does not include any UDC mappings
as well as the table provided on unicode.org.
I don't know why Microsoft has ceased to provides UDC mapping.
http://http.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MICSFT/WINDOWS/CP936.TXT
Oh, I still have a copy of full mapping that was one available via URI
above. Let's see...
cp936.txt says...
CODEPAGE 936 ; PRC GBK (XGB) - ANSI, OEM
CPINFO 2 0x3f 0x003f ; DBCS CP, Default Char = Question Mark
MBTABLE 130
0x00 0x0000 ;Null
[snip]
0x20 0x0020 ;Space
[snip]
0x7f 0x007f ;^?
0x80 0x0080 ;<80>
0xff 0xf8f5 ;<FF>
\x80 is mentioned but not mapped to EURO SIGN.
Please somebody tell me where to find the FULL map.

IBM's ICU provides another table, which includes UDC mappings
and Unicode-to-CodePage fallbacks (i.e. denoted by |1).
http://oss.software.ibm.com/cvs/icu/charset/data/ucm/windows-936-2000.ucm
EURO SIGN is assigned between Unicode version 2.0 and 2.1.
cf. Unicode 2.1, UTR #8, http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr8/
Your table should be an older one than Unicode 2.0.
