NAME

Image::ExifTool::Charset - ExifTool character encoding routines

SYNOPSIS

This module is required by Image::ExifTool.

DESCRIPTION

This module contains routines used by ExifTool to translate special character sets. Currently, the following character sets are supported:

UTF8, UCS2, UCS4, Arabic, Baltic, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, JIS, Latin,
Latin2, MacArabic, MacChineseCN, MacChineseTW, MacCroatian, MacCyrillic,
MacGreek, MacHebrew, MacIceland, MacJapanese, MacKorean, MacLatin2,
MacRSymbol, MacRoman, MacRomanian, MacThai, MacTurkish, RSymbol,
ShiftJIS, Symbol, Thai, Turkish, Vietnam

However, only some of these character sets are available to the user via ExifTool options; the multi-byte character sets are used only internally when decoding certain types of information.
