Hello,
The EDIFACT Character sets which are allowed depend on the charset level
encoded in the First UNB Element:
0001 SYNTAX IDENTIFIER
Desc: Coded identification of the agency controlling the
syntax and of the character repertoire used in an interchange.
Repr: a4
UNOA UN/ECE level A
As defined in ISO 646 (with the exception of letters,
lower case a to z).
UNOB UN/ECE level B
As defined in ISO 646.
UNOC UN/ECE level C
As defined in ISO 8859-1 : Information processing -
Part 1: Latin alphabet No. 1.
UNOD UN/ECE level D
As defined in ISO 8859-2 : Information processing -
Part 2: Latin alphabet No. 2.
UNOE UN/ECE level E
As defined in ISO 8859-5 : Information processing -
Part 5: Latin/Cyrillic alphabet.
UNOF UN/ECE level F
As defined in ISO 8859-7 : Information processing -
Part 7: Latin/Greek alphabet.
UNOG UN/ECE level G
As defined in ISO 8859-3 : Information processing -
Part 3: Latin alphabet.
UNOH UN/ECE level H
As defined in ISO 8859-4 : Information processing -
Part 4: Latin alphabet.
UNOI UN/ECE level I
As defined in ISO 8859-6 : Information processing -

UNOJ UN/ECE level J
As defined in ISO 8859-8 : Information processing -

UNOK UN/ECE level K
As defined in ISO 8859-9 : Information processing -
Part 9: Latin alphabet.
UNOX UN/ECE level X
Code extension technique as defined by ISO 2022
utilising the escape techniques in accordance with ISO
2375.
UNOY UN/ECE level Y
ISO 10646-1 octet without code extension technique.
UNOA is uppercase ANSI, UNOB is upper/lower and UNOC is Latin1. UNOY is
Unicode BMP. I guess this is UCS-2 (but should be auto-dectable anyway).
I think all of them where present in Syntax Version 3, not sure about 2.

William is correct so far as X12 EDI goes. If your partner is sending
you EDIFACT the case is a bit different. The old V2 of ISO 9735
basically only allowed A-Z, upper and lower case, and several
punctuation characters. V4 of ISO 9735 allows quite a bit more.
