How do I add a character set alias for use with iconv?

Issue

On RHEL4 iconv contains ISO-10646-UCS-2 but on RHEL5 it does not. Is ISO-10646-UCS-2 available in RHEL5?

rhel4.6# iconv --list | grep 10646
10646-1:1993//
10646-1:1993/UCS4/
ISO-10646-UCS-2//
ISO-10646//
ISO-10646/UCS2/
ISO-10646/UCS4/
ISO-10646/UTF-8/
ISO-10646/UTF8/

rhel5.5# iconv --list | grep 10646
10646-1:1993//
10646-1:1993/UCS4/
ISO-10646//
ISO-10646/UCS2/
ISO-10646/UCS4/
ISO-10646/UTF-8/
