Quoting https://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/
"When configured with the option --enable-extra-encodings, it also
provides support for a few extra encodings:
European languages
CP{437,737,775,852,853,855,857,858,860,861,863,865,869,1125}
Semitic languages
CP864
Japanese
EUC-JISX0213, Shift_JISX0213, ISO-2022-JP-3
Chinese
BIG5-2003 (experimental)
Turkmen
TDS565
Platform specifics
ATARIST, RISCOS-LATIN1"
Updating Kodi from version 17.6 to 18.5 caused runtime errors on systems
with locale support disabled, here Kodi uses libiconv but needs CP437:
ERROR: customConvert: iconv_open() for "CP437" -> "UTF-8" failed,
errno = 22 (Invalid argument)
The size of libiconv.so.2.6.0 grows from 941K to 1,1M.
