It works as I described on everything from Win2K up to a recent
Longhorn.
On everything below that (NTx and win9x) the call fails.

Further observations are that WideCharToMultiByte does the inverse (map
0-0x1f and 0xf020-0xf0ff, fail on everything else)  and that
EnumSystemCodePages() do not enum this code page (it does on wine).

I am planning to create a patch that fixes MultiByteToWideChar and
WideCharToMultiByte, as well as removing the symbol code page from the
code page table.
