Abstract
This disclosure relates to a computer implemented method that allows continued use of data files containing data encoded in a first coded character set while the data is gradually transliterated to a second coded character set. An intermediate coded character set is created that includes the required character symbols and associated character codes of the first coded character set and the corresponding pairs of character symbols and character codes from the second coded character set. The intermediate coded character set facilitates continued access to the data files which, during the process of gradual migration, will contain first coded character set character codes and second coded character set character codes. The intermediate coded character set further allows application software to selectively transliterate data encoded under the first coded character set to second coded character set character codes. Character codes may also be transliterated from the second coded character set to the first coded character set.
