Escaping Extended ASCII Characters |
 | ||
| If you want to use characters that are in the extended character range (128-255) such as ã or é, you must raise the highest non-escaped character to 0xFF to avoid HL7 standard escaping since ã and é are higher than ~. | ||
 |
There are four options available under Extended ASCII characters in the Options window:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Escape characters higher than | The highest character that will not be escaped. |
| disabled - extended characters are not escaped | Allows all extended characters (e.g. UTF-8 or another character set) to appear in the message without escaping. |
| escape all extended characters (0x80..0xFF) | All extended characters will be escaped as hex codes - \Xhh\. |
| custom | Not recommended. An arbitrary value can be selected. |
