=begin
test script:

#encoding: gbk
p "asdf".encode('utf-8')
p "的".encode('utf-8')
p "　".encode('utf-8')
p "\xa3\xa0".encode('utf-8')

output:

"asdf"
"\u7684"
"\u3000"
D:/doc/Ruby Projects/Arachno Default/test.rb:5:in encode': "\xA3\xA0" from GBK to UTF-8 (Encoding::UndefinedConversionError) from D:/doc/Ruby Projects/Arachno Default/test.rb:5:in '

"\xA3\xA0" is a correct gbk encoding but it seemed invalid in utf-8 ?

• Status changed from Open to Rejected

=begin
It means,

• 0xA3A0 is valid in GBK encoding scheme
• but the code point 0xA3A0 is not assgined any characers
• so the convert fails conversion
