#1047 closed defect (fixed)

Oscar module uses non-canonical, non-portable iconv name for UCS-2BE

Description

The charset name "UNICODEBIG" is hard-coded in the Oscar module for use with iconv. While it's understood by glibc as an alias for UCS-2BE, it's a very misleading/ambiguous name that's unlikely to be portable; in particular it's not supported by musl libc. Unless there are systems where "UCS-2BE" is known not to work, it would be preferable to use the name "UCS-2BE", which is the official name for this encoding.

Did this a few weeks ago. Thanks for reporting, I remember years ago wondering which of the 5378 aliases would be the canonical one. :-)
