did you look in a perl installation?. 


There are mapping tables in binary form in the
/usr/lib/perl5/Unicode/Map8 directory. the format is described in the file 
/usr/lib/perl5/Unicode/Map8.pm.


I'm not sure, but this does not seem to be a character-to-character mapping 
but a character-to-string mapping. So

FD52 = ARABIC LIGATURE TEH WITH HAH WITH JEEM INITIAL FORM

means that the character FD52 must be mapped to a string (three
characters , tHj ). 

I think some linguists/{unicode experts} on this list may give more feedback on this.
