    14 <p>The Charconv Plug-ins component contains plug-in converters for Charconv. </p>

    15 <p>The character converters built into the Charconv Framework are used for

    16 most languages. However the range of languages can be increased by adding

    17 additional Character Encoding and Conversion plug-ins. Symbian provides a

    18 number of plug-ins. Device creators may also create plug-ins. </p>

    20 part of the Character Conversion (Charconv) Framework collection. It contains
