Hi.
I’m in the final testing phase of a HAPI-based application, and I want to
define precisely what character encoding it can support. I know the HL7v2 spec
defines UTF-8 as the supported character set. However, it looks like it is only
supporting a subset of UTF-8. I am testing by ingesting an HL7v2 message in a
unit test and serializing to XML. For example, it looks like Simplified
Chinese, Vietnamese, Cyrillic, are not supported.
Sending this in an NTE segment:

Produces this on the other end:
???????????
So, exactly what UTF-8 characters can I expect to work? I also want to create a
unit test with a full range of the supported characters.
It might be nice to support other languages, but I don’t know if I can expect
to receive them from EMR systems.
Thanks in advance,
-tom
