I assume that these are non-standard encodings, and probably presentation-form encodings. If so, we don't have mappings specifically for these encodings, but our TECkit package could be used to handle such mappings. The advantage that TECkit offers over other available tools that I know of is that we designed it specifically to be able to cope with visually-ordered presentation-form encodings. So, for instance, it has mechanisms to deal with context-sensitive mappings and reorderings. You asked for something in languages such as C, etc. TECkit provides a generic conversion engine as a library; there's a generic mapping description language, so you write the description for the legacy encoding <> Unicode CCS (the descriptions are neutral with regard to encoding forms / schemes), and then compile that description into a binary format (for fast execution). The same compiled format can be used on the Mac or on Windows. (Sorry, no Linux version yet, but source code is available.)
