This is by no way restricted to GB18030. Several other legacy encodings
also have compatibility mappings that where remapped to official Unicode
points after they have become available. The compatibility mappings are
usually included as comments in the code tables, as glibc can only use
the roudtrip code points.
If you want to add some verbiage, put it in a README.
Andreas.
