==Converting ANSEL to Unicode and back==
* GRAMPS exports and imports ANSEL GEDCOM, but not all codes are supported. Test the output on the character ? which is used if a character is not understood
* Perl MARC::Charset module: Available on [http://search.cpan.org/~esummers/MARC-Charset-0.95/lib/MARC/Charset.pm cpan], and well supported . Can convert MARC8 to Unicode and back. As ANSEL is a subset of MARC8 (consisting of the (extended) latin characters) it will convert all ANSEL GEDCOMS to Unicode. (:arrow:) More info, and a script that can convert: see [http://bugs.gramps-project.org/view.php?id=831 the attachment to bug {{bug|831]}}.
* [http://marc4j.tigris.org/ marc4j] - Java implementation of a convertor, also MARC8 to Unicode. Unclear if it converts correctly combined unicode characters.
