Yes, We had same kind of problem, not with special characters like umlaut, but an asterik in the part description field. The way I handled this was, I used document key word replace adapter to change * to - and pass the data through map. The reason, to avoid astriks after translation in the output file to make the business partner happy. For you, as you need to populate the special characters like trademark, umlauts, carets etc, what I would suggest you to do is to change these characters using document keyword relacment before translation to the regular characters, and after translation change them back to actual symbols, using the same document keyword replace service and then pass onto the business partner.

I have a business requirement to pass trademark, copyright and registered symbols, as well as alpha characters with umlauts, carets, etc., from our back-end system to our business partners. I've tried the following with no success: (1) modifying syntax tokens to add 0x01-0xFF (2) modifying the target "properties/ encoding" to be several of the options (UTF-8, ISO8859_1, etc.) (3) setting the data type of the field to both "Free Format" and "X" Anyone else come across this scenario, and if so, how did you resolve it?
