MAPublisher supports Unicode character encoding in MAP Views, MAP Attributes, MAP Themes, and MAP Selections. MAPublisher can also reference Adobe Illustrator layers, graphic styles, and character styles using Unicode encoding.
To use Unicode character encoding you require a Unicode compliant font. Mac users will have Unicode compliant fonts installed with OS X. Windows users will require Unicode compliant fonts to render Unicode. For more information on Unicode visit http://www.unicode.org.
The following tables display Unicode—UTF8 support in MAPublisher, for GIS data formats that are Unicode—UTF8 compliant. Unicode support for importing and exporting data is different, so for each platform two tables have been created. For each data format there are four areas where Unicode character encoding can be used:
- File Directory - when Unicode encoding is used in the path to where the file is located.
- Filename - when Unicode encoding is used in the filename.
- Attribute column name - when Unicode encoding is used in a column name for attributes.
- Attribute value - when an attribute value contains Unicode encoding.
