About the Transcode Service Business Service

The Transcode Service business service converts data from one character-set encoding to another. It can also validate conversions before they are performed.

The conversion implementation is portable, and does not rely on the operating system or any third-party products for codepage definitions. Supported error detection includes output-buffer overflow, memory-allocation failure, invalid data in the input encoding stream, and substitution in the output encoding stream.

NOTE:  Windows fallback ("approximate") conversions are not supported.

The Transcode Service business service provides data conversion and validation of conversion between the following encodings:

• ASCII
• 874 (Thai)
• 932 (Japanese)
• 936 (Simplified Chinese)
• 949 (Korean)
• 950 (Traditional Chinese)
• 1250
• 1251
• 1252 (Western European)
• 1253
• 1254
• 1255
• 1256
• 1257
• 1258
• UTF-8
• UTF-16LE
• UTF-16BE
