Putty GB2312 & BIG5 Chinese Character set patch

Note: Ashamed ashamed, finally found that only need a statement can be done, modify WINUCS.C function wc_to_mb directly after entering the function set codepage=936; You can display GBK in Chinese, and if you want to show BIG5, change to 950.

Putty If a monospace font that does not support the Chinese character set is generally selected, it cannot be entered in Chinese. UTF8 encoding is the configuration character set, but ANSI's GB2312 & BIG5 character set is not supported unless you choose a font that supports the GB2312&BIG5 character set, such as "Fixedsys" "Nsimsun" and other Chinese fonts. The following patch is for Putty add GB2312 & BIG5 Character set support, VC compiled after the selection of the required character set.
