About Character Encoding
An encoding system determines the hexadecimal values that represent display characters. The Sterling B2B Integrator Map Editor uses the default character set of the computer you are working on. The default encoding for Japanese Windows is Shift-JIS although there are several other encoding systems for Japanese characters.
When you are specifying character sets for the CII side of a map, you must indicate one character set each for 8-bit and 16-bit characters in the CII File Properties dialog box. Then in the CII TFD Properties dialog box, you indicate whether the TFD uses an 8-bit or 16-bit character set.
