For 8-bit input lie that, you'd have to convert *from* mac-greek.

For conversion to mac-greek, you'd have to enumerate all Unicode codepoints (or
maybe just the BMP), and somehow skip over unconvertable characters. That is
probably best done programmatically because iconv (the shell command) may not
provide enough information for skipped/non-convertable Unicode codepoints.
