Check out the IETF resources identified in

    ftp://ftp.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2278.txt

especially this big file (as referenced in section 5 of that RFC)

    ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/character-sets

Note that Elliote's ref to Sun's doc is the JDK 1.2 one -- see Sun's
"Project X" docs (package com.sun.xml.parser) for the corresponding
ref to JDK 1.1 encoding support (1.1 has about 120 encodings,
while 1.2 has about 150, if you ignore the aliases).
