====== Character encoding ======

Messages or files can be coded with different character sets depending on the system and data source. The encoding can be recognized automatically at best for incoming messages, provided that the files are provided with a BOM. If a BOM is not found, the default character encoding is used. Character encoding is used for reading components, writing components and recognition components.


The following character encoding is available in the selection:
  * ascii
  * utf-7
  * utf-8
  * windows-1252
  * windows-1250
  * utf-16
  * ISO-8859-1
  * 10000 - MAC Roman
  * ibm852
  * ibm855
  * ISO-2022-jp
