Hello Steven,

Thanks for your response, I have finally managed to solve it. Though
now I am unable to encode strings with encodings that came with ICU.
I'm really confused at this point. util.TextDecoder allows me to
decode strings from win-1254 buffers, however when I try to encode a
String to buffer, I get the error:     TypeError: "encoding" must be a
valid string encoding

For the full explanation please see:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49086596/is-there-a-native-way-to-encode-strings-with-encodings-of-full-icu

So, do I have to use an external module in order to encode strings
with ICU? If so, what's the point of being able to decode but not
encode using same encodings?

Thank you
Koray
