Hi,
We have a scenario where special characters are expected in payload. To process them we are using CCSID 819. This is processing many special characters but not "Γ". This is gamma symbol
Could you please advice which codedCharSetID we should use to pass "Γ" also in the data?
Thanks in advance

Not if you're using broker. All processing within WMB is in Unicode.

If you're trying to pass this value out of WMB after processing, then you need to use any CCSID which contains this symbol (I'm taking your word for the fact 819 doesn't). I'd recommend asking the application consuming your output what CCSID they're using as a first move, as clearly they're handling this symbol.
Or output in Unicode.

Or any of the recognised variants of UTF
(Unicode <> UTF)

Every time you reinvent the wheel the more square it gets (anon). If in doubt think and investigate before you ask silly questions. |

Hello,
I am using
| Code: |
SET OutputRoot.Properties.CodedCharSetId = 1208;
SET OutputRoot.Properties.Encoding = 273; |
for Russian language. It might help you, as this "Γ" looks like an G in Russian. |

Not quite. I believe he is referring to the Cyrillic representation of the G character...

Yes, I referred to that. I looked a bit, and the letters are not encoded the same. Even if the Russian Cyrillic Г is from Greek letter gamma, the encoding is different.
Γ for Г (Greek gamma)
Ѓ for Г (Russian G). |

Hi All,
I have received clarification from onshore. They are not sending gamma character now. They would like to send character ’ in place of gamma.
This character ’ is not existing in our keypad. Looks like single quote but its not. I think it is stress mark.
I have checked in google and other sites to find out the CharacterSetID which includes this character ’. But I did not find any.
Could you please help me; how to read this character in WMB.
Thanks
Swetha |

The people generating the data must know what characterset they are using. Or is it guesswork on their part?
Are you sure it is not UTF-8?
Look Here for some useful information

How do you know that it is the ' charater you are looking for?
Remember that the same value can represent many different characters.
The characterSet is just a map of a numeric value to a symbol.
So, go back to the people generating the data and find out what CharacterSet they are using.OR THINK THEY ARE USING
Here is a good place to start looking into a lot of Charactersets

The sender picks the ccsid, when writing the message data. It could be UTF-8 (ccsid=1208), Windows Latin-1 (ccsid=1252), Windows Latin-2 (ccsid=1251), or something else; only the sender knows for sure.

The receiver (WMB) must use the same ccsid that the sender picked, when reading the message data.

That's the 'RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK', (U+2019, decimal 8217). |
