# libmbfl

This is libmbfl, a streamable multibyte character code filter and converter
library, written by Shigeru Kanemoto.

The original version of libmbfl is developed and distributed at
https://github.com/moriyoshi/libmbfl under the LGPL 2.1 license. See the LICENSE
file for licensing information.
