title: ANSI Chinese Codepage Conversion (CP950)
body: <p>I am puzzled about the meaning of the chinese <code>CP 950</code>.</p>
  <p>AFAIK, ANSI consists of 256 characters, but <code>CP950</code> seems to have quite more.
  On the WIKI page (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_page_950" rel="nofollow noreferrer">CP950</a>) a layout defined by Microsoft is shown as image with a reference to a textfile describing the translations made.
  Did I get it right, that a western europe CP (e.g.: <code>CP1250</code>) is translated into <code>CP950</code> by combining multiple characters from <code>CP1250</code> into one character of <code>CP950</code>? Vice versa, a single <code>CP950</code> character gets dissolved into multiple <code>CP1250</code> characters?
  Could somebody show me the translation process with the help of a simple example? (e.g.: <code>CP1250</code> A7 (<strong>§</strong>) is translated into <code>CP950</code> ... this way)</p>
  <p>I do really struggle to get the process right. Summarized I did understand, that no Unicode is needed to represent the chinese characters in <code>CP950</code> (traditional), that ANSI is still applicable, and transformations from western europe to <code>CP950</code> could be applied.</p>
