I see that the "zh_HK" locale and friends exist:
$ locale -a | grep zh_HK
zh_HK
zh_HK.utf8
zh_HK@cjknarrow
zh_HK.utf8@cjknarrow
However I am not seeing the "zh_HK.big5" or "zh_HK.big5hkscs" variants.
Installing "gettext" adds these:
bokmal catalan croatian czech danish dansk deutsch dutch eesti estonian
finnish french galego galician german greek hebrew hrvatski hungarian
icelandic italian ja_JP ja_JP.ujis japanese japanese.euc japanese.sjis
ko_KR korean korean.euc lithuanian no_NO no_NO.ISO-8859-1 norwegian nynorsk
polish portuguese romanian russian slovak slovene slovenian spanish swedish
thai turkish
but not the desired locales. These are available with Fedora [1], but at appears
that at least previously [2] these were not supported by Windows. I am just
wondering if these locales are still not supported by Windows.

It appears to be the default for territories using zh [paths genericized]:
$ locale -m
...
BIG5
...
$ locale -av
...
locale: zh_HK archive: /proc/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/KERNEL32.DLL
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
language | Chinese (Traditional)
territory | Hong Kong SAR
codeset | BIG5
...
locale: zh_HK@cjknarrow archive: /proc/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/KERNEL32.DLL
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
language | Chinese (Traditional)
territory | Hong Kong SAR
codeset | BIG5
...
etc.

Actually you are right - thanks - for the purpose of my testing - zh_HK does
work:
$ LC_ALL=zh_HK awk 'BEGIN {print "\243" ~ /[^[:alpha:]]/}'
1
$ awk 'BEGIN {print "\243" ~ /[^[:alpha:]]/}'
0
thanks again
