Vietnamese charsets
===================

   We are currently experimenting the implementation, in `recode', of a
few character sets and transliterated forms to handle the Vietnamese
language.  They are quite briefly summarised, here.

`TCVN'
     The TCVN charset has an incomplete name.  It might be one of the
     three charset `VN1', `VN2' or `VN3'.  Yes `VN2' might be a second
     version of `VISCII'.  To be clarified.

`VISCII'
     This is an 8-bit character set which seems to be rather popular for
     writing Vietnamese.

`VPS'
     This is an 8-bit character set for Vietnamese.  No much reference.

`VIQR'
     The VIQR convention is a 7-bit, `ASCII' transliteration for
     Vietnamese.

`VNI'
     The VNI convention is a 8-bit, `Latin-1' transliteration for
     Vietnamese.

   Still lacking for Vietnamese in `recode', are the charsets `CP1129'
and `CP1258'.
