Abstract

A character code converting system capable of lightening the burden imposed on the management of a code converting library and mapping information on the side of users and of easily and surely carrying out code conversion of character data including types of characters such as special characters and external characters between a plurality of different coding schemes. In the character code converting system, a code converting component carries out code conversion of character data, which are exchanged between processing programs operating on the respective platforms and an internal code converting module in a middleware, based on mapping information by an external code converting part, and processes the code-converted character data into a predetermined data format, which will be code-converted by the internal code converting module, by a data processing part. Thus, even if the internal code converting module in the middleware is operating, it is possible to equivalently transmit character data.
