Amazing. I tested it. It works. Amazing. Thanks! It's a really great solution.

TCX tables are used in pdftex and the table is used for the whole
document (and cannot be changed). TECkit map is applied in XeTeX per

Re: [XeTeX] traditional to simplified Chinese character conversion utility or data base
I seem to have a working solution now. Yesterday I wrote a c program to convert the Unihan_variants.txt file (suggested by Arthur) to an ascii TECkit (suggested by Zdenek) map, then used TECkit's teckit_compile utility to convert that to a binary map, and then used TECkit's txtconv utility (also suggested by Zdenek) to map the traditional characters to simplified. The map files contain 12,730 unicode to unicode mapping relations each. More testing would definitely be good (no guarantees at this point). If anyone has interest, they can download this zip file: http://banyan.cm.nctu.edu.tw/~dgreenhoe/groups/var2map.zip The zip file includes the c source code, makefile, mapping file, and tec file, as well as a Windows executable. The included tec file is based on the Unicode 6.1.0 standard. If a new standard becomes available, var2map.exe and teckit_complile.exe can be run again to update the binary mapping file. Using make, you can change the directory paths in the makefile and enter "make all" on the command line for a kind of demo. The demo maps some Latin and traditional characters (in trad.tex) to Latin and simplified characters (in simp.tex).

It looks like this solution from BPJ does essentially the same thing as the above mentioned c program. In addition, this solution by BPJ has the additional benefit, because it is a perl script, of being cross-platform without having to run a c compiler. As a follow-up to Andy's suggestion of the Tong Wen code: I did look into the code. I found what appears might be a good set of data bases for the simplified to traditional conversion, but I didn't seem to find a traditional to simplified solution. I did join a mailing list for the project and posted a request for assistance, but so far have not received any reply. Maybe the project has become dormant. Thank you very much to everyone who gave me help on this --- Zdenek for the TECnik suggestion, Andy for the Tong Wen suggestion, Arthur for the Unihan_Variants suggestion, and BPJ for the perl suggestion. I appreciate the help very much --- I don't know if I would have ever arrived at a solution without it. One of the next tasks is to find quality fonts (preferably OpenType) for Simplified Chinese, including fonts with Ruby text (Zhu-Yin or Pin-Yin). If anyone has suggestions of useful font repositories, please let me know. Thanks!

[XeTeX] traditional to simplified Chinese character conversion utility or data base
