I imagine you'd start by going to Apple and Microsoft, and convincing
them that your encoding is worth adding to the operating system. 
They'll need to add appropriate files for it to the next release of
their OSes, and update their header files so developers can reference
it, and write code to convert your encoding to/from others.  In
reality, of course, none of this is going to happen, which is why we
can't just go around making up our own encodings (if we expect them to
be used by anything other than our own software).

Best,
