Multibyte Character Encoding Support for libiconv

2.11.4 Multibyte Character Encoding Support for libiconv

libiconv, an encoding conversion library that provides support for many coded character sets and encodings, is included with the Oracle Tuxedo 8.1 or later software distribution. The multibyte character encoding feature uses the character conversion functions in this library to convert from any of the supported character encodings to any other supported character encoding, through Unicode conversion.
