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 distinguished 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:

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.
