Charsets Supported by Chilkat

The Chilkat API often requires specifying a charset (character encoding) for properties or method arguments. Below is a list of all supported charset names, though most are rarely used.

Before listing these names and their corresponding code pages, note the following:

• ansi: Represents the current ANSI code page of the local computer, typically iso-8859-1 or windows-1252 for US or Western European systems, and shift-JIS for Japanese systems.
• hex or base64: These indicate that a string contains binary data and should not be interpreted with a character encoding, but instead should be decoded from the specified binary format.
• For charsets with optional Byte Order Marks (BOM) like utf-8 or utf-16, you can use the prefixes bom- or no-bom- to specify whether the BOM should be included.

Below is the full list of charset names and each's corresponding code page.
