Universal Transformation Format, 7 bits
=======================================

   `UTF-7' comes from IETF rather than ISO, and is described by
RFC 2152, in the MIME series.  The `UTF-7' encoding is meant to fit
`UCS-2' over channels limited to seven bits per byte.  It proceeds from
a mix between the spirit of `Quoted-Printable' and methods of `Base64',
adapted to Unicode contexts.

   This charset is available in `recode' under the name
`UNICODE-1-1-UTF-7'.  Accepted aliases are `UTF-7', `TF-7' and `u7'.
