PI Suppoting Japanese character

Hi All,

I have a issue with reading JAPANESE charcter in PI. SAP PI 7.1 service pack 8.

I have triggered an IDOC with japanese charcter (from unicode ERP system). There is no error anywhere but the message mapping log shows that the japanese charcter gets converted into JUNK character. On proper investigation we observed that the Japanese language is not installed on the PI server. We are in the process of getting this installed But I need help on this issue. Is there any possibility of any alternative.

Thanks

Anand
