Re: Trademark symbol conversion from ASCII

If you're getting it as 3 bytes (E2 84 A2) it is UTF-8, which is CCSID
1208. 1252 is one (of many) single byte ASCII codepages -- it cannot
have a character represented as 3 bytes.

our ™ symbol is sent to us as "E2 84 A2" and the Zebra printer does

am reading it / converting it to native EBCDIC to print to a zebra via
application handling

Hi Mark,

I'm curious, what is the ASCII code for the TM symbol? Is it a single
character (TM), or two characters (T and M)? I don't see anything in my
ASCII chart, even in the extended 8-bit section.

Hi,
I don't think the trademark is translated correctly from ASCII to

EBCDIC,

has anyone else had this issue? Is there a fix?
I expected this issue 20 years ago but I am surprised I am seeing it

today.

I must have missed something somewhere. The table online said the
conversion is "UNKNOWN". For now I have a ZPL label work around but I

am

curious about the proper solution.
