      "US-ASCII"
      "ISO-8859-1"     "ISO-8859-2"     "ISO-8859-3"
      "ISO-8859-4"     "ISO-8859-5"     "ISO-8859-6"
      "ISO-8859-7"     "ISO-8859-8"     "ISO-8859-9"
      "ISO-2022-JP"    "ISO-2022-JP-2"  "ISO-2022-KR"
      "GB2312"         "BIG5"           "KOI8-R"
      "SHIFT_JIS"
      "EUC-KR"   (for EXTENDED_UNIX_CODE_PACKED_FORMAT_FOR_KOREAN)
      "EUC-JP"   (for EXTENDED_UNIX_CODE_PACKED_FORMAT_FOR_JAPANESE)
      "UCS-4"    (for ISO-10646)
      "UCS-2"    (for UNICODE-1-1)
      "UTF-7"    (for UNICODE-1-1-UTF-7)
      "UTF-8"    (for UNICODE-1-1-UTF-8)
