A few additional ones (not in the ~leisher collection) are found also in an
annex directory the Unicode database.

IBM has maintained and published since long a *much* larger collection of
charsets (including many variants), and in my opinion the IBM collection is
the most complete one, which is even **much** larger than what is actually
registered in the IANA database, and where many **distinct** IBM charsets
are treated (almost incorrectly if improperly used) as "compatible
aliases", but only for the purpose of **plain-text** encoding and for their
use in IETF protocols like MIME.

The MIME charsets are also frequently referenced in many technical
specifications from various standard international bodies like the ITU or
the IEEE, and from CEN in Europe, or national standard bodies like the
former ANSI in USA).
