Funny you should mention this... I was hoping to get this out last week,
but I think we are now ready to announce a legacy codeset conversion
tool that we have been working on for a while. What follows is the
blurb I wrote.
--------------------------------
Basis Technology has released a tool for Unicode to legacy character set
conversion. The tool is called Uniconv, and it is free for personal
development use. It is based on a Unicode conversion and development
library called UniLib which we are releasing for sale at the same time.
You can learn more about it and download it from
www.basistech.com/unilib.
Here's a quick summary of what uniconv can do -
Conversion between Unicode 1.1 (Unicode 2.0 support available in
September) and these character sets:
- ASCII
- ISO/IEC 8859-n (Latin-n)
- JIS X 0201-1976 (Japan)
- JIS X 0208-1983 (Japan)
- JIS X 0208-1990 (Japan)
- JIS X 0212-1990 (Japan)
- Shift-JIS (Japan)
- Japanese EUC (J-EUC)
- Korean EUC (K-EUC)
- Simplified Chinese EUC (SC-EUC)
- KS C 5601-1987 (Korea)
- KS C 5601-1992 (Korea)
- Big Five (Taiwan)
- CNS 11643-1986 (Taiwan)
- GB 2312-80 (China)
or conversion directly between these character sets (eg. Shift-jis to
J-EUC)
Features:
- Character classification: alphabetic, numeric, uppercase, lowercase,
whitespace,
punctuation, Hiragana, Katakana, Han, etc.
- Character conversions: uppercaselowercase, halfwidth
(hankaku)fullwidth

classification.
