# The converters/libiconv port

## libiconv-1.19 – character set conversion library

## Description

    libiconv provides an iconv() implementation, for use on systems which
    don't have one, or whose implementation cannot convert from/to Unicode.

    It can convert from any of supported encodings to any other, through Unicode
    conversion.

    It has also some limited support for transliteration, i.e. when a character
    cannot be represented in the target character set, it can be approximated
    through one or several similarly looking characters. Transliteration is
    activated when "//TRANSLIT" is appended to the target encoding name.

    libiconv is for you if your application needs to support multiple character
    encodings, but that support lacks from your system.
