ABSTRACT:
A character code conversion system that provides round trip fidelity, while ensuring that the resulting character codes are interchangeable with other platforms. The code conversion system is able to map a single source character or a sequence of characters to either a single target character or a sequence of target characters. With round trip fidelity, source text can be converted to target text and then back again to the original source text. The interchangability is ensured by maximizing the use of standard target characters, and by minimizing the use of private characters. The code conversion is particularly useful for converting to/from Unicode characters from/to other character sets.
