WMLScript » Lang » Lang.characterSet
- Syntax:
- Lang.characterSet()
Returns the character set being supported.
The Lang.characterSet function returns an
integer value that identifies the character set that is currently
supported by the browser.
The returned integer
is the unique MIBEnum code that has been assigned by the Internet
Assigned Number Authority (IANA) to every character set that "may be
used in the Internet and may be referred to in Internet documentation."
The assigned values can be viewed at:

For example, the Nokia WAP Toolkit v2.0 returns an
MIBEnum value of 1000. This is the ISO-10646-UCS-2 character set
commonly called Unicode.
Clearly the character
set being used will be very browser specific.
This function does not take a parameter.
