Class CharEncoding

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.apache.commons.codec.CharEncoding

public class CharEncoding
extends Object

Character encoding names required of every implementation of the Java platform. From the Java documentation Standard charsets:

Every implementation of the Java platform is required to support the following character encodings. Consult the release documentation for your implementation to see if any other encodings are supported. Consult the release documentation for your implementation to see if any other encodings are supported.

This perhaps would best belong in the [lang] project. Even if a similar interface is defined in [lang], it is not forseen that [codec] would be made to depend on [lang].
