webMethods WebSphere MQ Adapter 6.5 conforms to the internationalization standards of webMethods and includes support for operation in any country, locale or language as specified in the webMethods Installation Guide.
webMethods WebSphere MQ Adapter 6.5 was tested with non-ASCII data using various Unicode and non-Unicode encodings. It was tested in common European and Far East Asian locales and is supported for operation in any locale provided by your operating environment. The tested environments included English locale on an English Windows machine and Japanese locale on an English Windows machine.
If you expect to display non-English data in your webMethods tools, make sure an appropriate font is installed in your operating environment. If you see hollow boxes or black squares where you expect to see non-English data, modify your JRE font.properties file to reference an appropriate font. For information on modifying your font.properties file, go to Sun's Java website. For instructions, see:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/intl/fontprop.html

See the webMethods Installation Guide and your database vendor's documentation for instructions on choosing and setting the character encoding for your database and environment.
