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
       /usr/lib/iconv/*.so	       conversion modules

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, Maltese, 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.
