Though it's for php it handles the very same thing

every nice post , i think the most inportant information in that post is:

Quote :

// L = Latin 1
// G = Greek
// C = Cyrillic
// E = Central Europe
// T = Turkish
// B = Baltic
// J = Japanese
// S = Simplified Chinese
// K = Korean
// H = Traditional Chinese

$sets = array ('L' => 'CP1252',
'G' => 'ISO-8859-7',
'C' => 'CP1251',
'E' => 'ISO-8859-2',
'T' => 'ISO-8859-9',
'B' => 'ISO-8859-13',
'J' => 'SJIS-win',
'S' => 'CP936',
'K' => 'CP949',
'H' => 'CP950');

p.s. go with the list in the next post

Except the codepage list is not strictly correct, this one is

i have to note that I had problems using all the CP pages on my php install, which was the reason i had to choose the next best thing for certain languages.
