Re: Unicode

[Bruce Vining <bvining@xxxxxxxxxx>]

V5R3 supports UTF-16 as CCSID 1200 and UTF-8 as CCSID 1208.  These are in
addition to the previous UCS-2 support with 13488 (and let's just forget
61952...).

The V5R3 Information Center under Programming/Globalization/What's new for
V5R3 introduces this (along with other items).

Uh, since when is CCSID 1200 Unicode? Since when is CCSID
1200 even defined on an AS/400?

2-byte Unicode/UCS-2/UTF-16 is CCSID 13488 (or 61952, if
you want to be archaic).

1-byte Unicode/UCS-1/UTF-8 appears to be CCSID 1208, but
that's news to me. When was that introduced?
