Thanks John. The original characters came from Japan, don't know if they
use some proprietary extension of shift_jis. Attached is the zipped
file. Hope it come across correctly this time. It should contains
characters 0x 87408741.

Thanks for the reply. Are you sure those characters don't exist n
shift-jis? Please take a look at the attached text file. It contains
two characters ("1" in a circle and "2" in a circle). The file is in
shift-jis encoding.
Not possible. Here is an extract from
<ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/OBSOLETE/EASTASIA/JIS/SHIFTJIS.TX

which shows a large gap where you say there are characters assigned.
I presume the file is produced using some proprietary extension of
Shift_JIS with extra characters added, as is the case with Mac-Japanese,
but I suspect also that your file was corrupted in transit since it
contains characters 0x BD40BD41. You would need to send it zipped.
