<title>Character set encoding</title>
<para>
Jet 4 databases are encoded using UCS2-LE (Unicode 2 byte little endian) encoding. MDB Tools will convert these values using the "iconv" standard to UTF-8 by default. If your terminal or other output uses an encoding other than UTF-8 you can override the default behaviour by setting the MDBICONV to the desired character set.

To view a list of possible character sets, you can run the <command>iconv --list</command> command on most Linux systems. Otherwise, consult your vendors documentation.

<para>
Jet 3 databases use the character set of the machine on which they were created. For US-English systems this will be cp1252 which is assumed by MDB Tools as the default. To use a file generated with another version of Access, set the MDB_JET3_CHARSET environment variable.
