The Unicode orginazation has a file with the mappings of major Asian 
encodings to Unicode at

  http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/Unihan.txt

It's 25 meg.  The Big-5 encodings are associated with the tag "kBigFive".

I have a Python module, still in rough form, for looking up entries in the 
Unihan.txt file.  I was planning on releasing in when I have it in a 
little bit better state, but I'd be happy to share a copy with you now, as 
long as you realize it's still pretty rough.
