EncodingInfo Class Documentation

Represents a font's encoding data. Encoding is the process that transforms a set of Unicode characters into a series of bytes.

With PDF files, Unicode values are used to represent individual character within a font set. Unicode assigns a symbolic value to represent every single character in a wide variety of fonts, scripts, and languages.

For example, the Unicode value "U+0041" refers to the capital letter "A" in a Latin script.

The EncodingInfo Class is used to provide basic information about an encoding. For example, EncodingInfo could be used to provide just the code name and description for a Unicode standard font or language encoding, like this:

IBM860 (Portuguese, DOS)

ibm861 (Icelandic, DOS)

DOS-862 (Hebrew, DOS)

IBM863 (French Canadian, DOS)

IBM864 (Arabic, 864)

iso-8859-9 (Turkish, ISO)

iso-8859-13 (Estonian, ISO)
