SYNOPSIS

    use Encode qw/encode decode/;

BUGS

The Johab (two-byte combination code) encoding is not supported.

ASCII part (0x00-0x7f) is preserved for all encodings, even though it conflicts with mappings by the Unicode Consortium. See

http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/unicode-symbols.html.en

to find why it is implemented that way.
