Details:

CORBA supports two string and char types, the "wide" (usually 16 bit)
encoding and the "narrow" (usually 8 bit) encoding. When sending a string or
even a single character to another CORBA system, the message must include a
context record, indicating, how the text is encoded. The charsets are
indicated by providing they standard RGY code (ASCII = 0x00010020, UTF8 =
0x05010001, UTF-16 = 0x00010109) and so on. It is importat to ensure that
CORBA supports all encodings, that are currently supported by Classpath. The
responsible class is gnu.CORBA.GIOP.CharSets_OSF. It tries to detect the
available encodings automatically, but the internal hashtables must contain
the RGY code of the available encoding. I have included all RGY codes I was
able to find; if you known more, please add them into that class.
