    It's possible but not worth doing that because, then, the
    rest part is very small as I wrote below.

It seems to me that for coding systems for Chinese
it should be possible to record *which* codes are valid
in much less space than it takes to record the *meanings* of all
these valid codes.  Isn't that so?

      The biggest part of coding system is a
    mapping table, and without mapping table, we can't have a
    complete char-coding-system-table.

I am suggesting that we should be able to recognize the use of these
coding systems *without* having the whole mapping table.
