GOAL:
Can Russian extended Cyrillic characters be stored in a western 1252 database?
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.x
FIX:
Russian Cyrillic extended characters in the codepage range 128 - 255, cannot be stored in a 1252 database. The 1252 and 1251 (Cyrillic) codepages are not compatible and so when trying to write Russian characters into the database, these will be converted to another (1252) character and corrupted.
The only way that this could work is to use a Unicode (UTF-8) database. In version 9 this is only supported for the database, the clients will have to use their own local codepage (e.g. 1252, 1251).
