iconv Command

The iconv command converts the characters or sequences of characters in a file from one codeset to another. The command then writes the results to standard output. The Traditional Chinese Solaris software includes special filters for the iconv command.

If no conversion exists for a particular character, the character is converted to the underscore “_” in the target codeset. The following options are supported:

The following table lists the codeset conversion modules that are supported in Traditional Chinese Solaris software.
