In essence, a way to give multiple existing +Unicode modules a single common interface so you don't have to know +the underlaying implementations to do simple UTF8 to-from other character +set encoding conversions. As such, it wraps the Unicode::String, +Unicode::Map8, Unicode::Map and Jcode modules in a standardized and +simple API. + +This also provides general character set conversion operation based +on UTF8 - it is possible to convert between any two compatible and +supported character sets via a simple two step chaining of conversions. |
