Back in DOS days, a few different character sets were more or less used in
Lithuania: 770, 771, 772, 773, 774, and 775. Iconv currently only supports the
latter. It would be nice to get support for others on the list too.

http://www.likit.lt/nostyle/772.htm
<no illustration for cp773>
http://www.likit.lt/nostyle/774.htm
If adding these character sets to iconv is generally acceptable, I think I could
try to generate mappings from all these charsets to UTF-8

I've attached five files with mapping tables for each codepage.
Their format is:
[octal code]: [UTF-8 character]
Lower 127 positions (0000-0177) match ASCII in all cases, so only the positions
starting 0200 matter.
It seems like these charsets are (or maybe were) supported by ICU (see [1]). The
page also has some further descriptions that could be used when forming alias
names for cp77x charsets:
CP770 Lithuanian Standard RST 1095-89
CP771 KBL (Lithuanian and Russian characters)
CP772 Lithuanian Standard LST 1284:1993
CP773 Lithuanian (Mix of 771 and 775)
CP774 Lithuanian Standard 1283:1993
Unfortunately, I couldn't find source files of ICU mappings of these character
sets at [2], so I can't attach them. Instead, I used a small program found at
[3], developed a few years ago specifically to act as a converter among
different character sets used in Lithuania (note: I changed one symbol in
CP770.txt to match with the actual standard).
If it's possible to find ICU mappings, I think most likely they should be used
as a basis for conversion. Otherwise, the files attached should be fine.

Mapping of CP773 (corrected)
According to the name mentioned on ICU page, and cp773.acm (CP773 mapping for
Linux console) found on [1], this is the more correct mapping of codepage 773.
