Once you understood UTF-8 by reading the above documents, you will not
be interested any more in UTF-8 <-> Unicode conversion tables. The
conversion is a trivial algorithm, no table required. For EUC, JIS and
Shift-JIS you use the normal Unicode conversion tables and apply the
UTF-8 algorithm.

It is very exciting to see that UTF-8 is finally starting to fly these
days. It looks like there are signs of exponential growth.
