I see no problem here. The only standard conversion map I could found
on-line form so far (see below URL) does not include entries 0xf9d6 or
above.

Hum. These seem to be CNS 11643-1993, plane 3. Currently PostgreSQL
supports only:

CNS 11643-1993, plane 0
CNS 11643-1993, plane 1
CNS 11643-1993, plane 2
CNS 11643-1993, plane 15

Would you like to have support for rest of CNS 11643-1993 planes:

CNS 11643-1993, plane 3
CNS 11643-1993, plane 4
CNS 11643-1993, plane 5
CNS 11643-1993, plane 6
CNS 11643-1993, plane 7

support for upcoming 7.4?

BIG5 and EUC_TW have different code points. So this is not very strange.
