Here is an idea (in-byte represents GB18030, out-byte represents
internal server encoding):

if (in-byte1 is 0x00-80)    /* ASCII */
   out-byte1 = in-byte1

else if (in-byte1 is 0x81-0xfe && in-byte2 is 0x40-0x7f)    /* 2 bytes GB18030 */
   out-byte1 = in-byte1
   out-byte2 = 0x80
   out-byte3 = in-byte2 + 0x80 (should be 0xc0-0xc9)
   out-byte4 = 0x80

else if (in-byte1 is 0x81-0xfe && in-byte2 is 0x80-0xfe)    /* 2 bytes GB18030 */
   out-byte1 = in-byte1
   out-byte2 = 0x80
   out-byte3 = 0x80
   out-byte4 = in-byte2 (should be 0x80-0xfe)

else if (in-byte1 is 0x81-0xfe && in-byte2 is 0x30-0x39)    /* 4 bytes GB18030 */
   out-byte1 = in-byte1
   out-byte2 = in-byte2 + 0x80 (should be 0xb0-0xb9)
   out-byte3 = in-byte3
   out-byte4 = in-byte4 + 0x80 (should be 0xb0-0xb9)
