iconvircproxy is a proxy for IRC users who want to
talk in different character set environments. It
is especially suitable for European users who
occasionally talk on Japanese channels. It
requires a fully UTF-8 compatible IRC client, and
can talk in ISO-8859-*, ISO-2022-JP, SHIFT-JIS,
and UTF-8 encodings. Encodings can be configured
on a channel-by-channel basis, and heuristics are
used to determine the encoding of each character
of traffic.
