Re: Charest conversion !

For this particular question, as far as I understand RFC 1556, which
defines these bidi-specific charset names, text encoded with -i charset
are to be interpreted just like Unicode. This means that you should be
able to remove the -i, open a Unicode converter (ucnv_open()), convert to
Unicode, and you have valid Unicode text.

The -i charsets store text in logical order just like Unicode. See the
Unicode website and the standard for details.

Don't forget to un-base64 the text below as indicated by the ?B? before
you perform the conversion to Unicode. ICU itself does not have functions
for base64 transformations. (You may find an Internet-protocol-handling
library with such functions.)

Best regards,

Hi !

How do I convert a name in iso-8859-8-i format to Unicode, for example:
=?iso-8859-8-i?B?6eXx6SDh7y3p4On4?=

can you give the correct API functions, or a good conversion example ?

Thanks !
