As Open Server can convert all Sybase-supported character sets to and from Unicode (equivalent to ISO 10646 standard), UTF-8, an Open Server application can perform indirect conversions between any two Sybase-supported character sets. As a result, you can use an Open Server application to enable communication between applications and servers that use character sets in different language groups (note that loss of data may occur).
For information on how to set up an Open Server application as a conversion gateway, see “Creating localized connections for Open Server gateways”.
