Unicode characters in configuration files and PSLang scripts

There are some connectors, utilities, and plugins that support the new KVGroup 2.0 format. This includes the Lotus Domino Server connector, Lotus Notes ID Files connector, Unix Listener, and the Database Service. PSLang files and configuration files (in KVGroup 2.0 format) support Unicode characters.

When saving information in a text file where Unicode characters are included, the file must include the byte-order mark at the beginning of the file. Text editors such as notepad hide this from the user and pose no problems when you modify and save configuration files.

Bravura Security Fabric consumes the byte-order mark and interprets the rest of the information as defined by the byte-order mark. If no byte-order mark is present, Bravura Security Fabric will read the information as a UTF-8 format. ASCII is a subset of the UTF-8 format; hence no conversion from ASCII is required. If information is generated in utf-16 or utf-32, the byte-order mark is required for Bravura Security Fabric to interpret the information correctly.
