title: Is Windows codepage 936 a superset of both Simplified and Traditional Chinese characters?
body: <p>It appears that many Traditional Chinese characters are supported by the Windows implementation of Simplified Chinese character set, which started as GBK / GB2312 and from my understanding now supports the entire GB18030. </p>
  
  <p>The question is, are <strong>all</strong> the Traditional Chinese characters there? If yes, doesn't it make the Big5 character set totally redundant? </p>
