This appendix provides specific information on code page mappings used by the Siebel Connector for SAP R/3. The connector directly maps SAP's ISO codepages to Microsoft codepages; however it is possible for the ISO code page to differ from the Microsoft code page. The ISO code page can differ from the Microsoft code page if:

• There are characters in the Microsoft code page that are not defined in the ISO code page, see Mapping Microsoft Characters Not Available in ISO.
• There are characters in the ISO code page that are not defined in the Microsoft code page, see Mapping ISO Characters Not Available in Microsoft..
• There are characters that are defined in both but are not the same, see Mapping SAP Characters that Differ Between Codepages..

The behavior of the SAP connector in each of these cases is described in the following sections. The last section includes tables of commonly used codepages and their differences.
