75 // follow behaviour of GNU Recode - just copy unconvertable
76 // characters to output and don't change them (it's integer
77 // value will stay the same)

79 // try some (lossy) substitutions - e.g. replace
80 // unconvertable latin capitals with acute by ordinary
81 // capitals, replace en-dash or em-dash by '-' etc.
82 // both modes gurantee that output string will have same length
83 // as input string
