Unicode only. It does UTF8, UTF16 and UTF32 but no other encodings. Note
that ASCII is a subset of UTF8, being codes from 00-7F inclusive.

I think the Mango and Tango libraries have bindings to other libraries that
can do other encoding translations.

Have a look into http://www.dsource.org/projects/mango and
