This happened when building a Croatian model which can be written with many different encodings. There were also many irrelevant glyphs (i.e. used in other languages) in these encodings so we ended with orders over 255, which breaks when converting to unsigned char. Just let's make sure that we don't cross the 250 limit (over is used for controls, illegal characters, symbols, numbers…). This means we may have several characters with order 249, but since orders over the frequent character list don't matter, this is not a problem. |

uchardet
uchardet is an encoding detector library, which takes a sequence of bytes in an unknown character encoding without any additional information, and attempts to determine the encoding of the text. Returned encoding names are iconv-compatible.
uchardet started as a C language binding of the original C++ implementation of the universal charset detection library by Mozilla. It can now detect more charsets, and more reliably than the original implementation.
The original code of universalchardet is available at http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/extensions/universalchardet/
Techniques used by universalchardet are described at http://www.mozilla.org/projects/intl/UniversalCharsetDetection.html
