Hi,
Translation tables between many of the Macintosh native character sets
(Mac OS doesn't use the term "ANSI") and Unicode are available at the
Consortium's FTP site. The URL is:
ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/APPLE/
These don't appear to be the very latest versions, though. In particular,
the very important change of the code point 0xDB in MacRoman from
CURRENCY SIGN (U+00A4) to EURO (U+20AC) isn't reflected there yet.
You can also retrieve the tables from:
<ftp://dev.apple.com/devworld/Technical_Documentation/Misc._Standards/MacOS
_Text_Encodings/>
Hope this helps,
