This module contains an interface to iconv character set conversion
facility. With this module, you can turn a string represented by a local
character set into the one represented by another character set,
which may be the Unicode character set. Supported character sets
depend on the iconv implementation of your system.
Note that the iconv function on some systems may not work
as you expect. In such case, it'd be a good idea to install the
<ulink url="&url.libiconv;">GNU libiconv</ulink> library. It will most
likely end up with more consistent results.

various utility functions that help you to write multilingual
scripts. Let's have a look at the following sections to explore the new
features.

You will need nothing if the system you are using is one of the recent
POSIX-compliant systems because standard C libraries that are supplied in
them must provide iconv facility. Otherwise, you have to get the
<ulink url="&url.libiconv;">libiconv</ulink> library installed in
your system.
