Note:
The system code page is detected via ICU (International
Components for Unicode). On the platforms supported by Natural
for UNIX, check whether the detected system code page meets your expectations.
The system code page on Linux is often UTF-8. UFT-8 is basically not a code
page, but a Unicode encoding; it is a multi-byte encoding where the length of
one character can be 1 through 4 bytes. It is unlikely that the A format
encoding is UTF-8 because Natural statements such as REDEFINE will
not work on an encoding with a variable character length.
