class CnvUtfConverter

/** 

Converts text between Unicode (UCS-2) and the two Unicode transformation 

formats UTF-7 and UTF-8. There are no functions to convert directly between 

UTF-7 and UTF-8.

Objects of this class do not need to be created because all the member functions 

are static. The four functions are passed text in the second argument and 

output the resulting text in the first argument. Sixteen-bit descriptors are 

used to hold text encoded in UCS-2 (i.e. normal 16 bit Unicode), and eight-bit 

descriptors are used to hold text encoded in either of the transformation 

formats.

The conversion functions return the number of characters which were not converted 

because the output descriptor was not long enough to hold all of the converted 

text. This allows users of this class to perform partial conversions on an 

input descriptor, handling the case when the input descriptor is truncated 

mid way through a multi-byte character. The caller does not have to guess 

how big to make the output descriptor for a given input descriptor- they 

can simply do the conversion in a loop using a small output descriptor. The 

ability to handle truncated descriptors is particularly useful if the caller 

is receiving information in chunks from an external source.
