Thank you.
It works for my LuaTeX environment.

On the other hands, in XeTeX,
it seems that XeTeX does not have something like \XeTeXoutputencoding.

At least in XeTeX, byte wise input is hard to use, isn't it?
To use XeTeX (and also maybe LuaTex) native Unicode support is better
than byte wise input in my humble opinion.
