Guidelines for latin-1 and UTF-8 character encoding

When implementing Sterling Selling and Fulfillment Foundation, use the guidelines specified in this section when using Latin-1 and UTF-8 encoding.

Specifying the JRE settings
In a multilanguage deployment, install the international version of the JRE on each client computer.
Set up latin-1 character encoding
ISO 8859-1 is the ISO standard Latin-1 character set and encoding format. CP1252 is what Microsoft defined as the superset of ISO 8859-1. Thus, there are approximately 27 extra characters that are not included in the standard ISO 8859-1.
Set up UTF-8 character encoding
Encoding must be specified for international characters to be displayed correctly on UI components.
