If you are working with messages in Arabic code page CP420, the character conversion is restricted to Isolated Form. ICU converters do not deal directly with combining characters, bidirectional reordering, or Arabic shaping.
The broker can input, manipulate, and output application messages that are encoded in code page IBM-420 with the following restrictions:
- By default, ICU does character to character conversion which is equivalent to Isolated form in Arabic.
- ICU converters do not deal directly with combining characters, bidirectional reordering, or Arabic shaping, for example. See the ICU converter user guide :
http://userguide.icu-project.org/conversion/converters. - Therefore, when working with code page 420 in IBM® Integration Bus the character conversion capability is limited to Isolated Form for Arabic language.
If you need to work with messages where conversion involving bidirectional reordering is required, then you must implement your own solution in your message flow. The ICU or IBM Java BiDi APIs can be used for bidirectional reordering after a conversion to Unicode or before a conversion from Unicode. See http://userguide.icu-project.org/transforms/bidi or http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSYKE2_7.0.0/com.ibm.java.api.70.doc/com.ibm.bidiTools.bdlayout/index.html?lang=en for more details."
