Conversion of non-ASCII characters for tag names

  • Last UpdatedMar 25, 2026

If the data source contains non-ASCII characters that are used to create new tags in Data Archive, the non-ASCII characters in tag names will be converted to their Unicode hex representation if necessary.

This is because Data Archive only directly supports ASCII characters. For example, a character such as "Π" will be converted to "U+03A0" in a Data Archive tag name. This can be decoded using a Unicode conversion application or online tool.

For more information on which characters are valid in tag names for Data Archive, see the following knowledge base article.
