UTF8 Characters that can be used in Banner at Reed

Note: This is a page for administrative staff with permission to use Banner. 

The Banner database is capable of handling most special characters from the UTF8 character set.

The shared name fields (SPRIDEN) and the fields in the Student module that store the thesis titles (SHRQPNM) are the only places where special characters should be used.

Below is the set of UTF8 characters, which includes the ISO basic Latin alphabet (which I'll refer to as ASCII characters). Also listed are all the non-ASCII accented characters that are allowed in the UTF8 database.

In the "translation to the ASCII character set in SPRIDEN search field" column, you'll see how the Banner name search will treat the special character. For example: an accented, lower-case "e" ("é") will be treated like "E" in the search fields.

Therefore, searching for "Cesar" in a name search field will look at all names with "Cesar" or "César" in them and treat them as if they were "CESAR" and that's what you were searching for, so you'll find anyone with the name of "Cesar" or "César"; similarly, searching for "César" will find you anyone whose name is spelled "Cesar" or "César".
