String Encoding Functions
This collection of functions can be used for the phonetic encoding of string values. Phonetic encoding represents words by how they are pronounced. This can be useful for comparing strings such as names, as variant spellings are encoded into the same form. These functions will return a null value if the input string is null valued.
