UTF-7 comes from IETF rather than ISO, and is described by RFC
2152, in the MIME series. The UTF-7 encoding is meant to fit
UCS-2 over channels limited to seven bits per byte. It proceeds
from a mix between the spirit of Quoted-Printable and methods of
Base64, adapted to Unicode contexts.
This charset is available in recode under the name
UNICODE-1-1-UTF-7. Accepted aliases are UTF-7, TF-7
and u7.
