ASCII
The terms ASCII and EBCDIC are often used in ambiguous ways, and this presents a difficulty
for accented and non-Latin characters. The user should select a client character set that exactly
matches the character set that the import data uses.
If accented and non-Latin characters are used, do not use the ASCII or EBCDIC client
character sets. Instead, load and use one of the other Teradata-supplied character sets, or a
site-defined character set that exactly matches the application character set, such as:
EBCDIC037_0E for channel-attached clients (for the United States or Canada), LATIN1_0A,
LATIN9_0A (for Western European languages), LATIN1252_0A for Western European
Microsoft ® Windows clients, or UTF-8 for UNIX clients.
Japanese Characters Sets
