Hello there,

I foresee the need for using non ASCII characters (i.e. Western languages accented characters) in fields like ID field and thus does XBee Java libraries work with the Java standard codepage: ISO-8859-1? Should not, Which codepage should we use in method getbytes()?

Thank you!

Yes I believe the Java code does but the XBee module does not. The XBee only supports Intel Hex or ASCII characters.
