Summary :
SAP Note describes an encoding issue where UTF8 data from client to server results in mojibake, particularly affecting non-ASCII characters like Japanese. The problem originates from outdated kernel handling, exacerbated by Note 840413 which transcodes ASCII data to UTF8 format. This conflicts with kernels only accepting ASCII or SHIFT_JIS for Japanese characters. Resolution involves applying specific Support Packages for different SAP BW releases: SAPKW30B29 for BW3.0B, SAPKW31023 for BW3.1C, and SAPKW35015 for BW3.50, detailed further in associated notes when released. Urgent fixes can utilize preliminary correction instructions available before Support Packages.
