1 Mule-UCS is an Emacs Lisp library to define encoding/decoding schemes by
2 rather simple translation rule.
4 Emacs prepares encoding/decoding schemes in the following 2 mechanisms.
6 (A) ... built-in ISO/IEC 2022 encoder/decoder
7 (B) ... Code Conversion Language(CCL) engine
9 Although (A) provides powerful encoding/decoding schemes as to
10 ISO/IEC 2022, we cannot utilize this for any other encoding schemes.
11 (B) is a simple register machine. However, CCL program is arcane
12 language because it is mysterious and obscure:-P.
14 Mule-UCS provides flexible and comprehensible encoding mechanism to Emacs.
15 Currently, Mule-UCS generates CCL program from the translation rule, but
16 in the future, Mule-UCS may support another conversion engine on Emacs.
18 Predefined conversions for Mule-UCS included in this package are:
19 (1) ... Unicode(UTF-7/8/16) support.
20 (2) ... Big5 <-> CNS conversion support.
21 (3) ... JIS X 0213 support.
