Qt doesn't offer you codecs from libiconv. It uses libiconv only to translate 
the Unix locale to UTF-8, so that we don't need to detect which charset the 
locale uses.

libiconv is not used on Windows.

That also means that Qt offers exactly the same codecs on Windows, on Mac and 
on Linux, but not on Symbian (on Symbian, we actually do offer the codecs from 
the system).
