Problem summary
If a BPD contains a durable inbound (start or intermediate) message event and the incoming message for this event contains multibyte character data, then the characters are corrupted. The BPD will receive only question marks instead of the multibyte characters. PROBLEM DETAILED DESCRIPTION: Durable message events are saved into the database. During this save, strings that are contained in the payload of the message are converted to a byte array. This conversion happens with the default encoding of the system, which is Cp1252 in case of windows. During this conversion, multibyte characters are converted to question marks.
Problem conclusion
Use UTF-8 encoding for conversion from String to byte array when durable message events are saved to the database.
