External Unicode Interfaces: Data Exchange Between Unicode-Systems and non-Unicode Systems

In case of an Unicode <–> non-Unicode single code page combination, RFC passes all character data with code page conversion between Unicode and the old code page.

As Unicode is a true super set of any old standard code page not all Unicode characters can be transferred to the non-Unicode system

In case of an Unicode <–> non-Unicode MDMP combination RFC passes all character data with code page conversion between Unicode and thedifferent old code pages.
