libiconv (conversion library for text encodings)
Some programs, like mailers and web browsers, must be able to convert
between a given text encoding and the user's encoding. Other programs
internally store strings in Unicode, to facilitate internal processing,
and need to convert between internal string representation (Unicode)
and external string representation (a traditional encoding) when they
are doing I/O. GNU libiconv is a conversion library for both kinds of
applications.
