>Description:
	iconv -l claims that Microsoft codepage 932 (cp932) is a
supported character set, but it doesn't support all of the characters,
such as the circled numbers and roman numerals:
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/dbcs/932/932_87.htm

It looks like NetBSD has a mapping table for those characters in
src/share/i18n/csmapper/JIS/JISX0208VDC@NEC%UCS.src, but it's unused.

>How-To-Repeat:
% printf '\x87\x40' | iconv -f cp932 -t utf-16 | hexdump -C
iconv: iconv(): Illegal byte sequence

The same command on a MacOS X system (with GNU libiconv) produces:
00000000  fe ff 24 60                                       |..$`|
