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, UTF16, UCS2, UCS4, Arabic, Baltic, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, JIS,
Latin, Latin2, DOSLatinUS, DOSLatin1, DOSCyrillic, MacArabic,
MacChineseCN, MacChineseTW, MacCroatian, MacCyrillic, MacGreek, MacHebrew,
MacIceland, MacJapanese, MacKorean, MacLatin2, MacRSymbol, MacRoman,
MacRomanian, MacThai, MacTurkish, PDFDoc, RSymbol, ShiftJIS, Symbol, Thai,

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.
