Ideally someone does detailed content analysis to figure out what the best path forward is here, though I'm not entirely sure how.

I still don't know how, but thanks to Simon Pieters I gathered some URLs from http://dotnetdotcom.org/ and found that 22 pages (of which at least two are big5-hkscs encoded) out of 609 have byte sequences in the ranges that are distinct between big5 and big5-hkscs and in most implementations (in IE they are identical, in Opera big5-hkscs is a superset I believe). The byte sequences found per URL are published here: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2012Apr/0020.html


To go from (lead, trail) to an index usable in big5.json you can use a function such as:

def get_index(lead, trail):
    row = 0xFE-0xA1 + RANGE + 1
    cell = (trail-0xA1 + RANGE) if trail > (0x7E+1) else trail - 0x40
    return (lead-0x81) * row + cell

I can do that for the dataset, but I need someone who is able to interpret the results to see which decoding makes more sense.
