Hi,
There is a character map repository at http://std.dkuug.dk/i18n/charmaps/
You might find it useful. The maps show both the original encoding, and the
corresponding Unicode codepoint. They shouldn't be to hard to parse.
Once you you have the Unicode codepoint corresponding to the character, you
can pack it into a UTF-8 character using:
$UTF8Char = pack("U*",hex($strCodePoint));
