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 E-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.
Table E-1 Default Mapping of Undefined Characters
Language | IBM-to-HP | HP-to-IBM |
|---|
| Japanese | HP-15 blank (hex "8140") | DBCS blank (hex "4040") |
| Korean | HP-15 blank (hex "A1A1") | DBCS blank (hex "4040") |
| Traditional Chinese | HP-15 blank (hex "F5D1") | DBCS blank (hex "4040") |
