Most DOS programs use for simpe conversions between unicode and DOS code page a simple .TBL files called cp850uni.tbl, cp852uni.tbl and so on.
Look at DOSLFN device driver, it is a good example how is it used and there is also a description of this -extremely primitive- format.
You only have to decide which table you will use.
It can be selected via CFG file or you can it derive from result of DOS function INT21h/AX=6501h
