  I believe <http://www.itscj.ipsj.or.jp/ISO-IR/> is the official
registry, but none of encodings (or character set when more appropriate)
in question (Big5, Shift-JIS, Johab, etc) is registered for either of
categories you mentioned. (of course, UTF-8 IS registered)  Do you have
other source with this info?
