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 ele-
ments 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
koKR-euc%koKR-UTF-8

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:
Czech Polish Slovak
German Rumanian Slovene
Hungarian Croatian
ISO 8859-3 (Latin 3) Popularly used for Esperanto, Gali-
cian, 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 Ice-
landic 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.
