1. A computer program product for converting character encoded data for an application that is ported from an operating system (OS) platform of a first computer to an OS platform of a second computer, the computer program product comprising one or more computer readable storage medium and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more computer readable storage medium, the program instructions comprising:

  • program instructions to receive, on a second computer, an application ported from a first computer, the first and second computers having different first and second OS platforms, respectively;

    program instruction to receive by the second computer, configuration information associated with the ported application that includes information corresponding to the first OS platform;

    program instructions to execute, by the second OS platform, the ported application;

    program instructions to receive, by the ported application, first character data encoded in a first code set;

    program instructions to receive, by the second OS platform from the executing ported application, a request to convert the first character encoded data to a second character encoded data encoded in a second code set;

    program instructions to locate, by the second OS platform, a first-code-set-to-second-code-set mapping based on at least the received configuration information associated with the ported application; and

    program instructions to convert, by the second OS platform, the first character encoded data to the second character encoded data using the located first-code-set-to-second-code-set mapping, such that the second character encoded data is equivalent to an output resulting from converting the first character encoded data on the first OS platform.
