Error description

  • Error Message: N/A
    .
    Stack Trace: N/A
    .
    Tilde character is mapped to unicode value of  "\uff5e" in IO
    side whereas it is mapped to "\u301c" in NIO side for Cp939
    codepage
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • According to IBM Globalization codepage standards, Tilde
    character can be mapped to either "\uff5e" or "\u301c" for Cp939
    code page.  In order to support alternate mapping, the new code
    page Cp939A is created to handle "\uff5e".  So the default
    mapping for IO implementation should be "\u301c" to make it
    consistent with NIO side mapping.
    

Problem conclusion

  • This defect will be fixed in:
    6.0.0 SR11
    6.0.1 SR4
    7.0.0 SR3
    .
    JVM Cp939 IO implementation is updated to use "\u301c" as the
    unicode mapping for tilde character.
