If you are creating an interface that must support non-ASCII messages, you may have to make some changes to your application code. Fortunately, Chameleon makes it easy to handle different character sets in your application. The character set logic for handling strings in Chameleon 4.0 and later has been completely redesigned; thus, allowing the reliable conversion of strings in Java, C# (.NET), C++, Delphi and XML when messages are received or sent.

This section discusses how to handle character sets in your application code for Windows and Unix in your specific programming language.

	Note that Chameleon does not offer character set support for Visual Basic 6.0.
