Summary :
SAP Unicode executables assume UTF-8 encoding during file reads, per SAP standards. Errors occur when non-Unicode encoded text files are read, leading to third-party illegal byte sequence detection and message generation indicating corrupted UTF-8 bytes in hexadecimal form. For instance, Common issues include the misinterpretation of Western European diacritics and Shift-JIS encoded Japanese text. Solution involves using 'sapiconv' tool to convert and check text files for corruption, supporting various code pages depending on the original encoding.
