Using mnemonics as special characters

A mnemonic is a tag that is delimited by < and >. The broker translates the mnemonic to obtain the actual value of the special character. There are two types of mnemonic:

Mnemonics can be specified in one of two ways:

  1. <Mnemonic_Name> where Mnemonic_Name can comprise alphanumeric characters and underscore (_) characters.
  2. <U+xxxx> where xxxx are hexadecimal numbers. The delimiter is interpreted as the Unicode character that corresponds to the hexadecimal value.

In addition to special characters, mnemonics can also be used in the message set properties Decimal Point, Escape Character, and Reserved Characters.

For more details about the supported mnemonics, see TDS Mnemonics.
