1 libiconv provides an iconv() implementation, for use on systems which
2 don't have one, or whose implementation cannot convert from/to Unicode.
3
4 It can convert from any of supported encodings to any other, through Unicode
5 conversion.
6
7 It has also some limited support for transliteration, i.e. when a character
8 cannot be represented in the target character set, it can be approximated
9 through one or several similarly looking characters. Transliteration is
10 activated when "//TRANSLIT" is appended to the target encoding name.
11
12 libiconv is for you if your application needs to support multiple character
13 encodings, but that support lacks from your system.
