Duplicate entries in index-*.txt is
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2012Apr/0062.html
https://encoding.spec.whatwg.org/#index-pointer has the following:
The index pointer for code point in index is the first pointer corresponding to
code point in index, or null if code point is not in index.
And, the big5 encoder has the following steps:
3. Let pointer be the index pointer for code point in index big5.
4. If pointer is null, return error with code point.
....
Using the first pointer for round-trip while using others for decoding-only
(toUnicode) seems to lead to at least one discrepancy from Firefox 35, Chrome
and IE 11 in Big5.
index-big5.txt has two entries for U+5341 as shown below:
5287 0x5341 十 (<CJK Ideograph>)
5512 0x5341 十 (<CJK Ideograph>)
5287 corresponds to {0xA2 0xCC} and 5512 is {0xA4 0x51}.
All three browsers above encode U+5341 to {0xA4 0x51} in Big5 instead of {0xA2
0xCC}.
