If nobody has a ready-made conversion db, I think you will have to ask someone typing the characters on a PC into a form. Then you will see what you get and expand your conversion table. I did it for german language, but we do not have as many special characters like you. Fortunately I did not get cross-referenced values for Mac and PC.
