I'm sorry I may not have been clear. EDIFACT does support these character sets. I know this from personal experience because I have used them. It's all just ASCII and certainly the GIS mapper supports use of these character sets, regardless of the standard, through the Free Format String data type. In the end, of course, actual usage is dependent on partner agreements. There are no illegal characters.

Emmanuel, EDIFACT does handle all of those items you list. Could it be you are not using the correct version? Special attention was given to support all available character repertoires and their various encoding scheme in version 4.x of ISO 9735.
