The derby.ui.codeset property specifies an alternative supported character encoding value when you use one of the Derby tools with a language not supported by your default system.
This property is commonly used in conjunction with the derby.ui.locale property.
derby.ui.codeset=derbyval
where derbyval is a supported character encoding value, such as UTF8 (see the table later in this topic).
The following command runs ij using the Japanese locale (derby.ui.locale=ja_JP) and Japanese Latin Kanji mixed encoding (derby.ui.codeset=Cp939):
java -Dderby.ui.locale=ja_JP -Dderby.ui.codeset=Cp939 \ -Dij.protocol=jdbc:derby: org.apache.derby.tools.ij
The following table contains a sampling of character encodings. Supported encodings vary from product to product. For example, to see the full list of character encodings that are supported by the Java Platform, Standard Edition 7 Software Development Kit, go to http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/intl/encoding.doc.html.
