Hi All,

In the Hungarian language we have four special characters: ő, Ő, ű and Ű. BAW handles they normally, so we can enter them into the fields, we can see them in single selects, etc.

But when we use tw.system.serializer.toXml to serialize our business data, we get a question mark in the place of these characters like this:

Őry Ágnes -> ?ry Ágnes
Űrlap -> ?rlap
árvíztűrő -> árvízt?r?

How could we solve this problem? How to get special characters correctly in the string produced by tw.system.serializer.toXml?

Thx,

This is Java String (UTF-16) so Hungarian characters are for sure encoded properly.
You might see question marks only when you try to print it in non-UTF console.
But internally all characters are there.
If you want to enable your console with UTF-encoding set:
-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Dclient.encoding.override=UTF-8 -Ddefault.client.encoding=UTF-8 -Djava.nio.charset.Charset=UTF-8
as JVM parameter.
