Hi Florian,

Thank you for your response. iconv is platform dependent and not good for
the platform agnostic nature of Java. Also, many charsets in Java are not
available across platforms. I believe Java decided to have its own
charsets due to those reasons so that it can work seamlessly on any
supported platforms.

But then the tables will occasionally be different from what the platform uses for conversation. Wouldn't be compatibility with the rest of the system installation be preferred in this context?

Thanks,
Florian
