NB: newlib has an internal iconv implementation which is sufficient for most
applications, please try that first!

NB2: The static library version in this archive is slightly older than 1.13.1


This library provides an iconv() implementation, for use on systems which don't
have one, or whose implementation cannot convert from/to Unicode.

It provides support for the encodings:

    European languages         ASCII, ISO-8859-{1,2,3,4,5,7,9,10,13,14,15,16},  
      KOI8-R, KOI8-U, KOI8-RU,         CP{1250,1251,1252,1253,1254,1257},
CP{850,866,1131},         Mac{Roman,CentralEurope,Iceland,Croatian,Romania},    
    Mac{Cyrillic,Ukraine,Greek,Turkish},         Macintosh     Semitic languages
        ISO-8859-{6,8}, CP{1255,1256}, CP862, Mac{Hebrew,Arabic}     Japanese   
     EUC-JP, SHIFT_JIS, CP932, ISO-2022-JP, ISO-2022-JP-2, ISO-2022-JP-1    
Chinese         EUC-CN, HZ, GBK, CP936, GB18030, EUC-TW, BIG5, CP950,
BIG5-HKSCS,         BIG5-HKSCS:2001, BIG5-HKSCS:1999, ISO-2022-CN,
ISO-2022-CN-EXT     Korean         EUC-KR, CP949, ISO-2022-KR, JOHAB    
Armenian         ARMSCII-8     Georgian         Georgian-Academy, Georgian-PS   
 Tajik         KOI8-T     Kazakh         PT154, RK1048     Thai        
ISO-8859-11, TIS-620, CP874, MacThai     Laotian         MuleLao-1, CP1133    
Vietnamese         VISCII, TCVN, CP1258     Platform specifics        
HP-ROMAN8, NEXTSTEP     Full Unicode         UTF-8         UCS-2, UCS-2BE,
UCS-2LE         UCS-4, UCS-4BE, UCS-4LE         UTF-16, UTF-16BE, UTF-16LE      
  UTF-32, UTF-32BE, UTF-32LE         UTF-7         C99, JAVA     Full Unicode,
in terms of `uint16_t' or `uint32_t'         (with machine dependent endianness
and alignment)         UCS-2-INTERNAL, UCS-4-INTERNAL     Locale dependent, in
terms of `char' or `wchar_t'         (with machine dependent endianness and
alignment, and with OS and         locale dependent semantics)         char,
wchar_t         The empty encoding name "" is equivalent to "char": it denotes
the         locale dependent character encoding.

When configured with the option --enable-extra-encodings, it also provides
support for a few extra encodings:

    European languages
        CP{437,737,775,852,853,855,857,858,860,861,863,865,869,1125}
    Semitic languages
        CP864
    Japanese
        EUC-JISX0213, Shift_JISX0213, ISO-2022-JP-3
    Chinese
        BIG5-2003 (experimental)
    Turkmen
        TDS565
    Platform specifics
        ATARIST, RISCOS-LATIN1

It can convert from any of these encodings to any other, through Unicode
conversion.

It has also some limited support for transliteration, i.e. when a character
cannot be represented in the target character set, it can be approximated
through one or several similarly looking characters. Transliteration is
activated when "//TRANSLIT" is appended to the target encoding name.

libiconv is for you if your application needs to support multiple character
encodings, but that support lacks from your system.
