[Quickfixj-users] Behaviour of isStringEquivalent

[Philip W. <Phi...@fl...>]

Hi folks,

I'm looking into a string-encoding problem and one solution might be to enhance the QFJ support for charsets - ideally allowing UTF-8 on one side and Latin-1 on the other.

I'm trying to wrap my head around why 'isStringEquivalent' works in practice

As I understand it the binary representation of $ is:

Latin-1 / ISO-8859-1
24
UTF-16BE
0024
UTF-8
24

And the binary representation of ÿ is:

Latin-1 / ISO-8859-1
FF
UTF-16BE
00FF
UTF-8
C5 B8

I assume that it's related to the second byte being equivalent to the single byte in Latin-1? How does QFJ get away with ignoring the leading byte? Is this dealt with by MINA?

Best,
