Text encodings supported

Question
1

Currently Easy Data Transform supports the following text encodings:

  • Big5
  • Big5-HKSCS
  • CP949
  • EUC-JP
  • EUC-KR
  • GB18030
  • HP-ROMAN8
  • IBM 850
  • IBM 866
  • IBM 874
  • ISO 2022-JP
  • ISO 8859-1 to 10
  • ISO 8859-13 to 16
  • Iscii-Bng, Dev, Gjr, Knd, Mlm, Ori, Pnj, Tlg, and Tml
  • KOI8-R
  • KOI8-U
  • Macintosh
  • Shift-JIS
  • TIS-620
  • TSCII
  • UTF-8
  • UTF-16
  • UTF-16BE
  • UTF-16LE
  • UTF-32
  • UTF-32BE
  • UTF-32LE
  • Windows-1250 to 1258

But when we update a third party library, we might only be able to support the following:

  • UTF-8
  • UTF-16
  • UTF-16BE
  • UTF-16LE
  • UTF-32
  • UTF-32BE
  • UTF-32LE
  • ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1)

Is this going to be a major issue for anyone?

Hi,

Is it possible to add Windows-1256 to the list as most of the files that I work with has that Character Encoding.

I use Macintosh and Windows-1252 in some of my transforms.

I see no issue with the reduced list for me (from current perspective).
