If you have a scalar value then you can look it up in the UniHan database. http://www.unicode.org/cgi-bin/GetUnihanData.pl?codepoint=4e01 I would not rely on the mappings to major standards to determine the language, I can imagine that maybe the chinese include some non-chinese kanji in their sta

Note that IBM ICU data for DEC-MCS is based on the glibc implementation, but this is not authoritative for this DEC charset, as the glibc "fills the holes" by mapping ISO-8859-1 characters in unassigned positions. This corresponds to a common practice, that maximizes the compatibility with ISO-8859
