Hi Florian, Thank you for your response. iconv is platform dependent and not good for the platform agnostic nature of Java. Also, many charsets in Java are not available across platforms. I believe Java decided to have its own charsets due to those reasons so that it can work seamlessly on any supported platforms.

Thank you for your time. Could you use the platform iconv implementation instead? That would avoid shipping the tables in the JDK. Thanks, Florian
