32--  This package contains generic subprograms used for converting between
33--  sequences of Character and Wide_Character. Wide_Wide_Character values
34--  are also handled, but represented using integer range types defined in
35--  this package, so that this package can be used from applications that
36--  are restricted to Ada 95 compatibility (such as the compiler itself).
37
38--  All the algorithms for encoding and decoding are isolated in this package
39--  and in System.WCh_JIS and should not be duplicated elsewhere. The only
40--  exception to this is that GNAT.Decode_String and GNAT.Encode_String have
41--  their own circuits for UTF-8 conversions, for improved efficiency.
42
43--  This unit may be used directly from an application program by providing
44--  an appropriate WITH, and the interface can be expected to remain stable.
