DESCRIPTION
- • A text string between two different character sets, returning the new string.
- • A vector of unicode characters (not null-terminated) to a character string in a supported character set.
- • Initialize a vector of unicode characters, passed by reference, by converting a text string in a given character set to unicode.
These functions use iconv(3), and can use any character set that's supported by iconv(3). Use unicode::ucs_2 and unicode::ucs_4 to specify the 16 and the 32 bit unicode octet in native byte order. Use unicode::utf_8 and unicode::iso_8859_1 to specify these two standard character sets. The overloaded versions that pass a reference to a bool set the flag to true if some characters could not be converted. The overloaded version that initializes a unicode vector returns the bool flag, instead.
