The .ucm format can cope:

<code_set_name> "whatever"
<mb_cur_min> 1
<mb_cur_max> 4
<subchar> \x3F
#
CHARMAP
<U0000> \x00 |0 # <control>
<U0001> \x01 |0 # <control>
<U0002> \x02 |0 # <control>
<U0003> \x03 |0 # <control>
.....
<U2222> \x04\x05 |0 # two byte
.......
<U4444> \x06\x07\x08\x09 |0 # fourbyte
....
END CHARMAP
