I have developed this module primarily to implement ISO-2022-JP-3 and
ISO-2022-CN in future.  To implement encode() in these, you have to know
which character set a given character belongs.  But this module can also
be used if a string can safely be encoded
(Though fallback is much faster).

Great! Good work.

I have one, may be off topic question. Is there module which provide the
same functionality for languages? I mean something like IsGerman, IsCzech,
etc.

The mapping from/to charsets to languages is very complex.  The best
database I know of can be seen at http://www.eki.ee/
