Questions tagged [iconv]

iconv is a library and API for converting between different character encodings.

iconv can refer to one of three things:

  1. The iconv() API call standardised as part of the POSIX specification.
  2. The iconv command-line utility, also part of the POSIX specification.
  3. The libiconv library, a GNU project that implements the iconv() API and command-line utility.

In all cases, the API/utility/library is used to convert text between different formats.
