The following table lists the error characters for the server character sets.

Form-of-Use Error Character
LATIN server character set 0x1A
KANJI1 server character set 0x1A
KANJISJIS server character set 0x1A
UNICODE server character set U+FFFD
GRAPHIC server character set U+FFFD
GRAPHIC server character set, VARGRAPHIC function U+F8FF
0x1A in LATIN/KANJI1/KANJISJIS and U+FFFD in UNICODE/GRAPHIC are used internally by Teradata as the error character; therefore, they are unusable as user data. The user cannot store or retrieve these values through Teradata.
