Scanning Databases For Character Conflicts
You might want to convert a database and its data to a different code page. But before you do this, you must determine if the code-page conversion you are planning involves a character conflict.
Consider the conversion from IBM850 to ISO8859–1. Every character that appears in IBM850 appears in ISO8859–1. That is, this code-page conversion does not involve a character conflict.
But consider the conversion from ISO8859–1 to ISO8859–15. ISO8859–1 contains characters that ISO8859–15 does not. If you are considering this conversion, you must determine if an ISO8859–1 database contains any character not in ISO8859–15. If it does, there is a character conflict.
