950ZHO_HK and 950ZHO_TW have been added to support Chinese. 950ZHO_HK provides support for the Windows Traditional Chinese character set cp950 plus the Hong Kong Supplementary Character Set (HKSCS). The 950ZHO_TW collation provides support for the Windows Traditional Chinese character set cp950, but does not support HKSCS.
