I've got a few tools which produce conversion tables from different
sources (the glibc charmap, the unicode.org conversion table, the
glibc or Solaris iconv implementation, the ICU umap etc.), in the same
canonical format: one character per line, sorted in Unicode order.
Detecting errors is then a matter of diff-ing the right files.

Some of these conversion tools are now in glibc/iconvdata/tst-table*.

Similarly for the LC_CTYPE data; see glibc/localedata/dump-ctype.c.
