RE: ASCII Encoding in Business Central Cloud
There are several industry text encoding formats and different systems support different formats. Internally, Dynamics 365 Business Central uses Unicode encoding. For exporting and importing data with an XMLport, it supports MS-DOS, UTF-8, UTF-16, and Windows encoding formats.
Data is imported and exported as follows:
- When data is imported from an external file, it is read using the format that is specified by the TextEncoding property or parameter, and then converted to Unicode in Dynamics 365 Business Central.
- When data is exported to an external file, it is converted from Unicode in Dynamics 365 Business Central, and then written to the file in the format that is specified by the TextEncoding property or parameter.
You should set the text encoding (via the TextEncoding property) to the encoding format that is compatible with the system or program that you will be exporting to or importing from.
