Supported double-byte character sets

M-Business Anywhere Version 6.5 supports the double-byte character sets listed below.

Note

If at all possible, iAnywhere strongly recommends using UTF-8. This is the most global, most robust, most tested double-byte character set for use with M-Business Anywhere. All of the national character sets that are supported have known problems; for example, Shift_JIS causes some JavaScript commands to fail when certain JavaScript sequences are interpreted as Japanese characters instead of JavaScript instructions. If you plan character usage carefully with UTF-8, you may even be able to avoid the need to translate large portions of your content between different Asian languages.
