UCS-2 interchange converters
UCS-2 uses a universal 16-bit encoding. Conversions for each code set are provided in both directions, between the code set and UCS-2.
UCS-2 converters are found in /usr/lib/nls/loc/uconvTable and /usr/lib/nls/loc/uconv directories. The uconvdef command is used to generate new converters or to customize existing UCS-2 converters.
