Dell NetWorker 19.9 Administration Guide

Character display in graphical user interfaces

How characters display from within the different NetWorker GUIs vary and depend on the platform on which you run the GUI.

• On Microsoft Windows:
  • All Unicode encoded data are displayed correctly.
  • When you view UNIX path and filenames, path and filenames that you create with a character set that the current locale or UTF-8 supports, will display correctly. Paths that you create with another character set may not display correctly. Because Microsoft Windows does not have native support for many of the character sets used on UNIX (for example, euc-jp, euc-cn and euc-tw), if a non-ASCII character is encoded by using these character sets, characters will not display correctly on Microsoft Windows.
  NOTE:Windows sets a limitation that prevents us from browsing save sets containing non-ASCII characters in their names.
• On UNIX:
  • Characters that the current locale does not support may not display correctly.
• On OS-X:
  • Differences in Unicode support, non-ASCII paths, and filenames on OS-X machines can result in characters not displaying correctly when you browse the file system from a non-Mac platform.
