Code page converters

WebSphere Message Broker performs string operations in Universal Character Set coded in 2 octets (UCS-2). If incoming strings are not encoded in UCS-2, they must be converted to UCS-2. The broker uses international components for Unicode (ICU) code page converters to do this. The Unicode Consortium has further information on Unicode.

A code page converter is a mapping from the byte sequence in one code page to a serialized representation of UCS-2, known as UCS Transformation Format 16 bit form (UTF-16). A code page converter allows the broker to create a UCS-2 representation of an incoming string.

An example of the use of code page converter is:

WebSphere Message Broker currently supports the code pages listed in Supported code pages. If you need support for an additional code page, or if you require a different variant of a code page, you can extend the broker to support this code page.
