# NAME

Encode::Byte - Single Byte Encodings

# SYNOPSIS

        use Encode qw/encode decode/;
        $greek = encode("iso-8859-7", $utf8);  # loads Encode::Byte implicitly
        $utf8  = decode("iso-8859-7", $greek); # ditto

# ABSTRACT

This module implements various single byte encodings. For most cases it uses \x80-\xff (upper half) to map non-ASCII characters. Encodings supported are as follows.
