List of converters

Converters change data from one code set to another. The sets of converters supported with the iconv library are listed in the following sections.

All converters shipped with the BOS Runtime Environment are located in the /usr/lib/nls/loc/iconv/* or /usr/lib/nls/loc/iconvTable/* directory.

These directories also contain private converters; that is, they are used by other converters. However, users and programs should only depend on the converters in the following lists.

Any converter shipped with the BOS Runtime Environment and not listed here should be considered private and subject to change or deletion. Converters supplied by other products can be placed in the /usr/lib/nls/loc/iconv/* or /usr/lib/nls/loc/iconvTable/* directory.

Programmers are encouraged to use registered code set names or code set names associated with an application. The X Consortium maintains a registry of code set names for reference.
