Undefined DBCS Characters

Some infrequently used HP DBCS characters are 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 G-1 “Default Mapping of Undefined Characters” lists the default mapping characters from the HP-IBM and IBM-HP tables for Japanese, Korean, and Traditional Chinese.
