You mean for *all* coded character sets in the ISO 2375 International
Register of Coded Character Sets on <http://www.itscj.ipsj.or.jp/ISO-IR/>?
That would be a quite huge conversion table that I don't think has
ever been implemented by anyone. And even that would be incompatible with
the de-facto ESC sequences used today in the so called ISO-2022-?? Internet
implementations. The entire ISO 2022 thing is really a mess.
