Problem conclusion

  • Invalid malformed input code range issue.
    Affected code pages (converters):
    x-IBM1371, x-IBM1377, x-IBM1379, x-IBM1390, x-IBM1390A,
    x-IBM1399, x-IBM1399A, x-IBM930, x-IBM930A, x-IBM935, x-IBM937,
    x-IBM939, x-IBM939A
    If output buffer size is 0, converter cannot handle code
    conversion properly.
    Affected code pages (converters):
    x-IBM16684, x-IBM16684A, x-IBM300, x-IBM300A, x-IBM4933,
    x-IBM835, x-IBM837
    If Java executes following instructions, surrogate pair is
    handled by malformed input.
    1. Only high surrogate is in input buffer
    2. Read low surrogate, then try to convert surrogate pair, but
    output requires additional buffer size
    3. Expand output buffer, then try to convert surrogate pair, but
    Java detected it's malformed input
    Affected code pages (converters):
    x-IBM1377, x-IBM1379, x-IBM1390, x-IBM1390A, x-IBM1399,
    x-IBM1399A
    Euro sign cannot convert properly on non-array loop
    Affected code pages (converters):
    x-IBM16684, x-IBM16684A
