- libiconv provides an iconv() implementation, for use on systems which
- don't have one, or whose implementation cannot convert from/to Unicode.
- It can convert from any of supported 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.
