The folks on the charset list somehow agreed that adding
unnecessary aliases would make it worse, e.g. Windows
tools won't recognize cp1251 as alias for windows-1251.

Do you have an idea why ICU http://purl.net/net/cp/1251
shows 0x98 as boxed "SOS" (same style as for C0 control
codes), 0xA0 as empty string, and 0xAD as an empty box ?

As always curious,
