Does MI support UNICODE?
As of MI 2.5 SP09, MI as a part of NW04 is completely Unicode enabled. The only restriction is that both MI 2.5 and Backend-System always have to run in the same mode, that means either both in Unicode mode or both in non-Unicode mode. Mixed modes are not supported. Important: Since certain other NetWeaver components (namely Exchange Infrastructure) require to be installed in Unicode mode, MI may not be installed on the same system as XI if the application backend for mobile runs in non-Unicode mode.
