Please consider using the data tables from ICU. They are in plain-text form and Asian
encodings are included.
I haven't seen your engine, but I've created such engines and worked on engines others
have created. They aren't easy to do. Just supporting a basic set of Internet
encodings will be a difficult undertaking. Maybe you've got it all worked out, in
which case hats off to you. Otherwise I would recommend a strategy whereby you
implement a core set of single-byte conversions (for, say, Western Europe, Central
Europe, and Cyrillic languages) with an internal engine and plan to incorporate an
optional ICU hook-up for anything else. That way you don't have to maintain and
distribute large Asian encoding tables.
