Package com.icl.saxon.charcode Description

This package provides classes for handling different output chacaracter sets.

The sole function of these classes is to determine whether a particular character is present in the character set or not: if not, Saxon has to replace it with a character reference.

The actual translation of Unicode characters to characters in the selected encoding is left to the Java run-time library. (Note that different versions of Java support different sets of encodings, and there is no easy way to find out which encodings are supported in a given installation).
