The encoding map from Unicode to CP932 is different from that of Windows'.

In differences.txt, the first column is Unicode, and the second is CP932.

Hye-Shik, could you please comment on this ?

The Windows version appears to replace private use code points with CJK compatibility idiographs, ie. uses standard Unicode code points rather than private escape code points (for round-trip safety).

I have updated the tables about the latest Pythons (2.7.2, 3.2.1).
The patches for 2.7a3 can be applied to 2.7.2 and 3.2.1 successfully.

The latest Pythons still have the problem.
Their encoding maps from Unicode to CP932 are different from those of Windows'.
