Charles,

don't believe all what you read - unicode is a standard with 1,112,064
valid code points and there is no way you are able to press
1,112,064 code point into 2 bytes

Therefor IBM writes what kind of encoding the unicode has UTF-16BE/UCS-2 is
a 2 byte encoding, UTF-16BE plain is a 2 x 2byte
but the real problem is that 95% of the internet runs UTF-8 and expects
UTF-8 back.

Incorrect...

From the ACS help
General information

In a 5250 Display session, the emulator supports the display of Unicode
data located in fields tagged with Coded Character Set Identifiers
(CCSIDs). The Enable Unicode Data Stream option in the 5250 Display session
configuration window must be set to Yes (see Connection).

This feature is not supported in a 5250 Printer session.

The emulator supports the following CCSIDs:

- 13488 (hexadecimal 0x34B0) (Unicode 2.0 UTF-16 BE / UCS-2)
- 17584 (hexadecimal 0x44B0) (Unicode 3.0 UTF-16 BE)


Also from
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_ibm_i_72/
nls/rbagsucsdspandpnlgrpcon.htm
"The 5250 data stream has an option to support Unicode. Some 5250 emulators
like IBM i Access Client Solutions or IBM Rational Host On-Demand support
the sending of Unicode to the device. "

Carles,

unicode dosn't exist as a code page but it does exist in a varity of
encodings such as UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-32

5250 supports either SBCS EBCDIC od DBCS UCS-2 - neither of them are
unicode or UTF even though there
are similarities between UCS-2 and UTF-16

The real showstopper is the ancient 5250 that only will be able to
display
characters defined in
ASCII 7 bit - all other characters will either be garbage or even
5250
control characters.


​It's not 5250...5250 supports unicode. You just can't use a old 5250
terminal (emulator).

IBM i Access for the web has always supported unicode, as does the ​new
Access Client Solution.

The problem is a DB that only stores EBCDIC.
