    The best introduction and in-depth paper on UTF-8
    and Unicode, from Markus Kuhn (a Unicode guru),
    last updated 19 November 2002 (a living document):

    IBM's open source ICU (I18N Components for Unicode)
    has a wonderful set of charset maps (they're in
    Unicode _to_ Legacy layout, which is the opposite of
    the ISO-8859 maps at the Unicode, which are in Legacy
    _to_ Unicode layout). The top-level URL:

    http://www-124.ibm.com/cvs/icu/charset/data/

    For official ISO and IETF language, country, and
    script codes visit Michael Everson's page (Michael
    is the IETF language tag reviewer and a heavy in
    ISO language standards and the Unicode Consortium):
