Class protocol:

 isAbstract

Return if this class is an abstract class.
True is returned here; false for subclasses.
Abstract subclasses must redefine this again.

 maxCode

Instance protocol:

 encodeString: aUnicodeString

given a string in unicode, return a string in my encoding for it

 characterSize: charOrCodePoint

return the number of bytes required to encode codePoint

 newString: size

 encodeCharacter: aUnicodeCharacterOrCodePoint on: aStream

given a character in unicode, encode it onto aStream.
Subclasses can redefine this to avoid allocating many new string instances.

Usage example(s):

CharacterEncoderImplementations::ISO8859_10 new encodeCharacter:260 on:Transcript CharacterEncoderImplementations::ISO8859_10 new encodeCharacter:$Ą on:Transcript

 readNextCharacterFrom: aStream
