DISCUSSION

The Internet uses names (strings) to identify Web or mail encodings, while the Text Encoding Converter uses numeric text encoding specifications. You use TECGetTextEncodingFromInternetName to obtain the text encoding specification for a text encoding whose Internet encoding name you provide. This function performs the opposite action of TECGetTextEncodingInternetName.
