This is completely irrelevant in most cases.  Whether character is
representable in coding system is not determined by its charset only.

At the first glance problem is even simpler.  In particular,
complicated remapping or recoding characters is not needed.  The
string in mule internal coding to encode is fixed.  The order of
coding systems to try to encode it with is directly specified by user.
Perhaps in this case the brute force encode - decode - compare will be
just about as efficient, but much easier both to program and to
document.

However, it may offer something that is considerably more efficient
even in this simple case.
