Method and apparatus for character stream transcoding

摘要

One embodiment of the present invention is an apparatus that transcodes an n code unit block of UTF-8 input data in the form of eight parallel n-bit segments of u8-indexed bit streams u8bit0 through u8bit7 into UTF-16 output data in the form of sixteen parallel n-bit segments of u16-indexed bit streams u16bit0 through u16bit15 where n is 4 or more.
