Details of CCSIDs and CCSID conversion for Simplified Chinese.
The following table shows the native CCSIDs for Simplified
Chinese on supported platforms:
Platform |
Native CCSIDs |
z/OS® |
935, 1388 |
IBM® i |
935, 1388 |
AIX® |
1383, 1386 |
HP-UX |
1381 (see Note 1) |
Windows |
1381, 1386(see Note 2) |
Linux®, HP Integrity NonStop Server, Solaris |
1383 |
Note:
- Code sets
prc15 and hp15CN on
HP-UX are represented by CCSID 1381.
- Windows uses code page 936 but this is best
represented by the CCSID of 1386. However, not all platforms of WebSphere® MQ support this CCSID.
On WebSphere MQ for Windows CCSID 1381 is used to represent code page 936, but a change to file ../conv/table/ccsid.tbl can be made which changes the CCSID
used to 1386.
- WebSphere MQ supports phase one of the
Chinese GB18030 standard.
On z/OS, Linux, Windows, and Solaris, conversion support is provided between Unicode (UTF-8
and UCS-2) and CCSID 1388 (EBCDIC with GB18030 extensions), Unicode
(UTF-8 and UCS-2) and CCSID 5488 (GB18030 phase one), and between
CCSID 1388 and CCSID 5488. Note:
On IBM i, support is
provided by the operating system for conversion between Unicode (UTF-8
and UCS-2) and CCSID 1388 (EBCDIC with GB18030 extensions).
On HP-UX there is currently no support available on the HP11 operating
system for GB18030. On HP11i, patch PHCO_26456 provides conversion
support between GB18030 (CCSID 5488) and Unicode. Support is not provided
for the conversion between GB18030 and 1388 (EBCDIC).

All platforms support conversion between their native
CCSIDs and the native CCSIDs of other platforms, with the following
exceptions.
