Character encoding conversion and encoding detection #15

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
In some application, character encoding conversion for 'legacy' character 
encoding is necessary.

For instance, on ChromeOS, mp3 file handler is written in JavaScript and it has 
to deal with legacy encodings used in ID3 v1 tag and standard-violating ID3 v2 
tags. 

The conversion can be done with ICU. ICU also supports the encoding detection, 
but CED (when open-sourced) would be better (especially with short strings).
