Hello,

I ran into this after getting reports of libxml2 test failures on musl. EUC-JP also supports JIS X 0212 as third code set with characters encoded as three-byte sequences starting with 0x8F. It seems that musl's iconv implementation doesn't support these characters.

Here's the work-around in our test suite: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/commit/afe8f8451459750d330e8bca9ee3b02aeadeebb5
