For PSF, see the Customization book (S550-0427). Appendix N. Activating 
Conversion Services describes configuring Unicode conversion services that PSF 
uses. You will also need to add the UNICODE parm to the EXEC statement in 
the PSF PROC ,PARM=(,,,,TCPIP,UNICODE). If you want to print Unicode data 
you will need to use TrueType Fonts and define FONTPATH to the Unix 
directory containing fonts installed by the Font or Resource Installer. This 
requires a printer that supports TrueType Fonts.

You can also print UTF-16 data using the Unicode Migration Fonts PRPQ (5799-
GJJ). This does not require Unicode support or TrueType Font support.

See also the Page Printer Formatting Aid User's Guide, S544-5284-10 for 
information on printing UTF-8 as well as UTF-16. UTF-16 is the "native" Unicode 
encoding in MO:DCA (AFP).
