Internationalization-supported characters

The 
BlackBerry AtHoc
 system supports Windows-1252, a set of characters that includes all of the foreign characters that are required for the languages currently supported in the system. For additional details about Windows-1252, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows-1252.
In addition, some of the key fields for alerting support the Unicode character set, which is much larger than Windows-1252. This is important because it enables users to create alerts that have delivery locales that are different from the Organization locale. For more details, see the "Selecting a Delivery Locale for an Alert" section of the 
BlackBerry AtHoc
 Localization Guide
.
