Hi:

I am trying to implement some character maps for Indic languages (and thus 
some locales). Unfortunatly, many of the Indic 8-bit encodings are charcter 
based but the corresponding Unicode charcters are based on glphs.

Moral of the story: It is a Many-to-many transformation.

e.g.: the following could be a scenario (not real numbers)
<U0b11><U0b36>          : \x93\x95\xa8
<U0b11><U0b36><U0b88>   : \x83

How can I implement such a character map. Any kind of pattern matching? 
algorithmic?

Thanks.

-Dinesh
