Internationalization-supported characters

The

BlackBerry AtHoc

system supports Windows-1252, a set of characters that includes all of the foreign characters that are required for the languages currently supported in the system. For additional details about Windows-1252, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows-1252.

In addition, some of the key fields for alerting support the Unicode character set, which is much larger than Windows-1252. This is important because it enables users to create alerts that have delivery locales that are different from the Organization locale. For more details, see "Select a delivery locale for an alert" in the BlackBerry AtHoc
Localization Guide
.
