apr_xlate would be the appropriate abstraction for cross-platform support, if it meets your needs. If not, you'd need an external library. You might not need to do anything at all: (1) You could send data out in 16-bit encoding if you send it with an appropriate charset parameter in the Content-type header. (2) If (1) is not an option, an existing module like mod_charset might be suitable to do the conversion for you. -- Nick Kew Available for work, contract or permanent http://www.webthing.com/~nick/cv.html
