The MBTABLE tag marks the start of the mapping from single-byte bytes to Unicode UTF-16. It has one field.

Field 1: The number of records of single-byte to Unicode mappings.

An example of the MBTABLE tag is:

The Unicode UTF-16 mapping records follow the MBTABLE section. These mapping records have two fields.

Field 1: The single byte character of the codepage.

Field 2: The Unicode UTF-16 code point that the codepage character maps to.
