| This directory contains information on the character set conversions of several |
| different platforms between Unicode and any given encoding. |
| |
| Known problems for the UCM files: |
| * The UCM files may require some tweaking in order to get them to work with ICU |
| * The mappings for the stateful and MBCS encodings may not be correct for the |
| non ibm-*.ucm files. The program for collecting such mappings is still not |
| complete. |
| * Some of the MBCS and stateful character sets are currently missing the |
| <icu:state> and <uconv_class> tags. |
| * Some files are missing the substitution character. |
| * Some ibm-*.ucm had an incorrect year for the version. The old files |
| are in the attic. |
| |
| Known problems for the XML files: |
| * The validity tables for these files are preliminary, and they are based |
| upon the set of known validity tables that ICU already knows about. |
| * The XML format cannot express a stateful character set mapping at this time. |
