Abstract
A system and method for converting a source data sequence to a target encoding is disclosed. A fallback technique, specifiable by a user program component, is applied to data in the source data sequence that cannot be mapped to the target encoding. A particular embodiment involves methods for encoding a Unicode string as a sequence of bytes in a target encoding, and decoded the encoded bytes back to Unicode.
