ABSTRACT:
A truncation technique for a character code conversion system is disclosed. The truncation technique ensures that a source string received for conversion is accurately converted into a different, target character encoding even when the source string exceeds the length of an input buffer which holds the source string for conversion. The truncation processing technique operates to truncate a portion of the source string held in the input buffer so that the truncated portion is able to be converted to the target character encoding without being affected by subsequent characters in the source string.
