How do protocol special characters behave?

Content

As some languages contain characters that we do not use in our language, it may be that some characters are replaced in MOXIS. MOXIS helps by simply replacing these so-called Unicode characters for certain languages. This article shows in detail how this works.

1. Clarification of terms: What are Unicode characters?

Unicode is a standardised character set based on an alphanumeric system. This is also called a Character Encoding Scheme (CES) and is used to encode text characters. It is basically something like a universal character set, independent of the characters otherwise used in a language. In addition to the common text characters known worldwide, Unicode includes mathematical, technical and commercial special characters.

1.1. Problem with Unicode in MOXIS

If a character appears in the name or when saving a document that is supported by Unicode but not by MOXIS, MOXIS replaces it with a question mark (?).

Example: abエcde.pdf becomes ab?cde.pdf

This behaviour affects:

• Filename

• User name

• Iteration comment

• Rejection comment

• Signature comment

2.2. Solution in MOXIS

MOXIS has supported all special characters in Unicode up to Cyrillic since June 2024.
From Unicode u0530, all special characters will continue to be replaced with a question mark (?).
