If they aren't unlabeled, or mislabeled as ISO 8859-1 or CP1252...

I'd compare the tables first, e.g., current versions of CP936 have a Euro
that snuck in there that isn't part of GBK. You might want to separate

You can get HZ encoded pages from http://www.cnd.org/HZ/Classics/ . You
might have hunt around for ones that include rows of English text for
testing purposes.
I don't know where to get EUC-TW encoded data.
