EXAMPLES
       Example 1 The library module filename

       In  the conversion library, /usr/lib/iconv (see iconv(3C)), the library
       module filename is composed of two symbolic elements separated  by  the
       percent sign (%). The first symbol specifies the code set that is being
       converted; the second symbol specifies the target code,	that  is,  the
       code set to which the first one is being converted.

       In  the	conversion  table above, the first  symbol is termed the "FROM
       Filename Element". The second symbol, representing the target code set,
       is the "TO Filename Element".

       For example, the library module filename to convert from the Korean EUC
       code set to the Korean UTF-8 code set is

       ko_KR-euc%ko_KR-UTF-8

FILES

NOTES
       ISO  8859  character sets using Latin alphabetic characters are distin‐
       guished as follows:

       ISO 8859-1 (Latin 1)
				For most West European languages, including:

				Albanian   Finnish     Italian
				Catalan	   French      Norwegian
				Danish	   German      Portuguese
				Dutch	   Galician    Spanish
				English	   Irish       Swedish
				Faeroese   Icelandic

       ISO 8859-2 (Latin 2)
				For  most  Latin-written  Slavic  and  Central
				European languages:

				Czech	    Polish     Slovak
				German	    Rumanian   Slovene
				Hungarian   Croatian

       ISO 8859-3 (Latin 3)
				Popularly  used	 for Esperanto, Galician, Mal‐
				tese, and Turkish.

       ISO 8859-4 (Latin 4)
				Introduces letters for Estonian, Latvian,  and
				Lithuanian. It is an incomplete predecessor of
				ISO 8859-10 (Latin 6).

       ISO 8859-9 (Latin 5)
				Replaces the rarely needed  Icelandic  letters
				in ISO 8859-1 (Latin 1) with the Turkish ones.

       ISO 8859-10 (Latin 6)
				Adds  the  last	 Inuit	(Greenlandic) and Sami
				(Lappish) letters that were  not  included  in
				ISO  8859-4  (Latin 4) to complete coverage of
				the Nordic area.
