A general concept for string encoding is implemented in EDMsix to enable storing of UNICODE UTF-8 characters in EDMmodels. All EDMdatabases have a default string encoding configuration parameter EDM_DEFAULT_STRING_ENCODING. Through EDMInterface operations this property of the EDMdatabase may be changed. The default string encoding is ISO‑LATIN‑1.
The following string encodings are supported by EDMsix, EDM_DEFAULT_STRING_ENCODING
- UTF-8
- ISO-LATIN-1
- ISO-LATIN-2
- ISO-8859-3
- ISO-8859-4
- ISO-8859-5
- ISO-8859-6
- ISO-8859-7
- ISO-8859-8
