Hello, I could see in the GED-125 spec that STRING data type has to of ASCII data, and few other data types like ECC_VAR_NAME, ECC_VAR_VALUE, ECC_VAR_ARRAY, MEDIA_SPECIFIED etc have to be a string - which implicitly means that they should also be of ASCII data.
 
1) Does it mean that only the pure ASCII characters (127 characters) could be used for these data types ? Or even the extended ASCII character set is applicable ?
2) Is there a way in which I can pass a UTF-8 / Windows-1252 encoded data to ICM for call variables & ECC variables ?If yes, how can I achieve this ? 
3) If only ASCII is supported, why does the "SetVariable" node in the ICM script editor allow us to set a UTF-8 data ?    
 
Any additional information surrounding this topic is also welcome.    
 
Thanks very much, Vignesh
