# Supported Character Encodings

Each message contains the name of the character encoding used to encode strings within the message. This character encoding name is one of the canonical names for character encodings contained in the Java specification.

You can obtain a list of canonical character encoding names from the java.sun.com website.

Java and .NET clients use these canonical character encoding names when setting or retrieving the character encoding names.
