   This module contains an interface to iconv character set conversion

   facility. With this module, you can turn a string represented by a local

   character set into the one represented by another character set,

   which may be the Unicode character set. Supported character sets

   depend on the iconv implementation of your system.

   Note that the iconv function on some systems may not work

   as you expect. In such case, it&#039;d be a good idea to install the

   <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/" class="link external">&raquo; GNU libiconv</a> library. It will most

   likely end up with more consistent results.

  <p class="para">

   Since <span class="application">PHP</span> 5.0.0, this extension comes with

   various utility functions that help you to write multilingual

   scripts. Let&#039;s have a look at the following sections to explore the new

   features.
