Unicode conversion support
Some platforms support the conversion of user data to or from Unicode encoding. The two forms of Unicode encoding supported are UTF-16 (CCSIDs 1200, 13488, and 17584) and UTF-8 (CCSID 1208). You should use CCSIDs 1200 or 1208, as they represent the most recent Unicode version supported.
UTF-16 surrogate pairs (a pair of 2-byte UTF-16 characters in the range X'D800' through to X'DFFF' that represent a Unicode code point above U+FFFF) are supported. If a target CCSID does not contain a mapping for a code point represented by a UTF-16 surrogate pair, the pair of characters convert to a single substitution character.
Combining character sequences are supported by IBM® MQ. This means that, in some cases, a precomposed character in the source CCSID will be converted to a combining character sequence in the target CCSID, or the other way round.
