Mainly because I don't really *know* what I'm asking for :). In my case, I would like conversions between UTF-8, UTF-16, and UCS-4. But I am sure a library in the full generality would provide conversions between many more encodings. (In fact, IIRC UCS-4 raises problems because wchar_t may not be big enough to store a 32-bit character. Correct?) > Second interpretation is conversion between all the 8-bit encodings > out there.

I agree that iconv would be nice (especially as it also supports all the Unicode encodings), except for the licensing issues. I believe iconv is GPLed, is it not?
