A CharacterToUnicodeMap object contains a mapping of single-byte code points to Unicode (double-byte) characters. The single-byte characters are presumably EBCDIC or ASCII, though the class does not explicitly require this — it simply maps code points in some character set to Unicode.

The CharacterToUnicodeMap class provides programmers with a facility for creating or copying codepages that are not currently available in the current Sirius Mods version. Besides methods for creating and modifying your own codepage, the class also has methods for dynamically invoking one of the Sirius Mods codepages supported at your site.

The "List of CharacterToUnicodeMap methods" shows all the class methods.

The CharacterToUnicodeMap class is new as of version 8.0 of the Sirius Mods.
