Yes, you can always specify a UNA which gives the default syntax
characters. The rules for what are the default characters are clear as a
foggy day:
1) If using an EDIFACT 4 envelope (UNB+UNOx:4) then the default
characters are equivalent to UNA:+.? '
2) If using a version of EDIFACT before 4 then if the UNB+UNOx: has an
'x' which is 'A' the default characters are equivalent to UNA:+.? '
3) If the 'x' has any other value ('B' and 'C' are the most common) then
the default characters are unprintable and equivalent to
"UNA\x1f\x1d.\x0 \x1c" (the ASCII representation used in the actual
interchange)
