Hey Karel!

 KK> http://ftp.fi.muni.cz/pub/localization/charsets/cs-encodings-faq

I found https://www.duhoctrungquoc.vn/wiki/en/Kamenick%C3%BD_encoding since our last exchange.  It has the utf8 equivalents and without being a knowledgeable person on all things cp895 I got the impression it just might be accurate.

 KK> (literally translated texts sound weird)

For sure.

 KK> .chs tables I can provide, but not to utf8.

I've heard tales of a python script that can handle that requirement.

 KK> Actually I am using old good luit under linux console to handle
 KK> odd codings.

So far I've been using iconv from glibc.  iconv currently doesn't support cp895.  I don't know why that is so.

Life is good,
Maurice
