6.11.6 Charset
This allows you to specify the assumed character set of all text strings.
If you specify ascii
only standard ASCII character codes in the
range from 0 to 127 are valid. You can easily find a table of ASCII
characters on the internet. The option utf8
is a special Unicode
text encoding and it allows you to specify characters of nearly all languages
in use today. We suggest you use a text editor with the capability to export
text to UTF8 to generate input files. You can find more information,
including tables with codes of valid characters at
»http://www.unicode.org/
The last possible option is to use a system specific character set. For
details about the sys
character set option refer to the platform
specific documentation.
