Undefined DBCS Characters
Some infrequently used HP DBCS charactersare not translated to IBM DBCS
equivalents because they do not exist in the IBM character set.
Likewise, some IBM DBCS characters are not translated to HP DBCS
characters, because they do not exist in the HP character set. The HP
and IBM DBCS character sets differ slightly. Currently, the HP NLS
conversion intrinsic will map an undefined character to either a
user-configurable character (hexadecimal "40FE" to hexadecimal "FFFE") or
the default character (a double-byte blank). See the Native Language
Support Reference Manual for more information.
Table E-1 lists the default mapping characters from the HP-IBM and IBM-HP
tables for Japanese, Korean, and Traditional Chinese.
