I've got a framework in place that seems to generate HTML from the
info files correctly, except for this problem.  It's not just iconv
that is confused by skk.texi, either; XEmacs 21.5 also has problems
with it.

Would one of you who reads Japanese please take a look at lines 4771
and 4780 of skk.texi?  There is something wrong with those two lines.
If I use XEmacs itself to convert this file to UTF-8, then makeinfo
still chokes on the results, complaining:

utf8 "\xE04576" does not map to Unicode at
/usr/share/texinfo/Texinfo/Parser.pm line 1909, <FH> line 4771.
utf8 "\xE04596" does not map to Unicode at
/usr/share/texinfo/Texinfo/Parser.pm line 1909, <FH> line 4771.
utf8 "\xE045B6" does not map to Unicode at
/usr/share/texinfo/Texinfo/Parser.pm line 1909, <FH> line 4771.
skk.texi:4780: misplaced {
skk.texi:4780: misplaced }
skk.texi:4780: misplaced {
skk.texi:4780: misplaced }
skk.texi:4780: misplaced {
skk.texi:4780: misplaced }
make[2]: *** [texi/skk_toc.html] Error 1

And reloading the UTF-8 version of the file in XEmacs results in a
bunch of weird characters showing up.  I have no idea what should be
on those lines, so I need some help to proceed.  Thanks,
