    27 class CnvUtfConverter
    28 /** 
    29 Converts text between Unicode (UCS-2) and the two Unicode transformation 
    30 formats UTF-7 and UTF-8. There are no functions to convert directly between 
    31 UTF-7 and UTF-8.
    32 
    33 Objects of this class do not need to be created because all the member functions 
    34 are static. The four functions are passed text in the second argument and 
    35 output the resulting text in the first argument. Sixteen-bit descriptors are 
    36 used to hold text encoded in UCS-2 (i.e. normal 16 bit Unicode), and eight-bit 
    37 descriptors are used to hold text encoded in either of the transformation 
    38 formats.
    39 
    40 The conversion functions return the number of characters which were not converted 
    41 because the output descriptor was not long enough to hold all of the converted 
    42 text. This allows users of this class to perform partial conversions on an 
    43 input descriptor, handling the case when the input descriptor is truncated 
    44 mid way through a multi-byte character. The caller does not have to guess 
    45 how big to make the output descriptor for a given input descriptor- they 
    46 can simply do the conversion in a loop using a small output descriptor. The 
    47 ability to handle truncated descriptors is particularly useful if the caller 
    48 is receiving information in chunks from an external source.
