The mapping tables are of course available at
ftp://unicode.org/pub/MappingTables/
There is a tool called tcs that was built as part of AT&T's Plan 9 project
that does this. You can get it from:
ftp://plan9.att.com/plan9/unixsrc/tcs.shar.Z
This tool now handles Japanese character sets correctly, I believe. I'm not
sure if the author has fixed all the problems in his handling of Big5
(Traditional Chinese).
