Ok. I have committed changes to support ISO-8859-6 to 16.
1) Followings are supported ISO-8859 series encoding names. Column 1 is the "official" name and column 2 is the
"alias"name.
LATIN1 ISO-8859-1 LATIN2 ISO-8859-2 LATIN3 ISO-8859-3 LATIN4 ISO-8859-4 LATIN5 ISO-8859-9
ISO-8859-6 ISO-8859-7 ISO-8859-8 ISO-8859-10 LATIN6 ISO-8859-13 LATIN7 ISO-8859-14 LATIN8 ISO-8859-15
LATIN9 ISO-8859-16
These encodings all support conversions to/from UNICODE(UTF-8).
2) LATIN5 no more means ISO-8859-5, instead ISO-8859-9. This may impact the LATIN5 database backward compatibility.
Especiallyin case of conversion between LATIN5 and UNICODE. If you have LATIN5 database and used UNICODE conversion
capability,PLEASE CHECK YOUR DATABASE.
