Re: [Quickfix-developers] Quickfix C++

[Greenfeld, I. (Treasury) <Ima...@Ll...>]

Hi,

I have a message is that comes in, in bytes - it's encoded using UTF-8 by a third party and then on my side FIX 4.4 decodes the message and later I traverse through it and get the relevant values from specific fields.

As I did not use specific decoding, I'm assuming FIX uses the default ISO-8859-1, but then French characters appear incorrect because they were encoded using UTF-8 but decoded using ISO-8859-1 (so they end up not looking like the original at all).

I wish to know if there is a way to tell FIX 4.4 to decodes the message using UTF-8 and hopefully, I'll get the same result as when they were entered.

Any ideas please ?

Thanks,

Imanuel.

Can you please clarify? FIX is an ASCII protocol, the messages themselves do not support encodings, though some fields do.  What exactly are you trying to do?
