+Nkf is a yet another kanji code converter between the different types
+of kanji codes out there. It can convert between 7-bit JIS, MS-kanji
+(shifted-JIS) or EUC.
+
+One of the most unique facilities of nkf is that it guesses the input
+kanji code. It currently recognizes 7-bit JIS, MS-kanji (shifted-JIS)
+and EUC. So users don't need to specify (or even know) the input
+kanji code type.
