I've attached five files with mapping tables for each codepage.
Their format is:
[octal code]: [UTF-8 character]
Lower 127 positions (0000-0177) match ASCII in all cases, so only the positions
starting 0200 matter.
It seems like these charsets are (or maybe were) supported by ICU (see [1]). The
page also has some further descriptions that could be used when forming alias
names for cp77x charsets:
CP770 Lithuanian Standard RST 1095-89
CP771 KBL (Lithuanian and Russian characters)
CP772 Lithuanian Standard LST 1284:1993
CP773 Lithuanian (Mix of 771 and 775)
CP774 Lithuanian Standard 1283:1993
Unfortunately, I couldn't find source files of ICU mappings of these character
sets at [2], so I can't attach them. Instead, I used a small program found at
[3], developed a few years ago specifically to act as a converter among
different character sets used in Lithuania (note: I changed one symbol in
CP770.txt to match with the actual standard).
If it's possible to find ICU mappings, I think most likely they should be used
as a basis for conversion. Otherwise, the files attached should be fine.
