The Charconv Plug-ins component contains plug-in converters for Charconv.
The character converters built into the Charconv Framework are used for most languages. However the range of languages can be increased by adding additional Character Encoding and Conversion plug-ins. Symbian provides a number of plug-ins. Device creators may also create plug-ins.
The Charconv Plug-ins component is
part of the Character Conversion (Charconv) Framework collection. It contains
ECom plug-ins which implement the CCharacterSetConverterPluginInterface interface
for use with the Charconv Framework. Each library in
the Plug-ins component is a plug-in converter for a specific character encoding.
The following table lists the plug-in converters and
the target scripts. Each converter is identified by a Unique Identifier (UID).
The UIDs are defined in the charconv.h header file.
